Labor worked with the Barngarla People in the last term of Parliament to ensure they secured the right to seek judicial review of the decision to acquire the Facility site.

The Federal Court heard BDAC & Ors v Minister for Resources and Commonwealth of Australia [SAD224/2021] from 6-10 March 2023.

As some matters remain before the courts, it would be inappropriate to make further comment.
