Borroloola Frackdown: Resistance in the GulfBorroloola, NT, is a small town plagued by a big mine; the biggest zinc and lead open-cut mine in the world. The McArthur River Mine has contaminated the river with dangerously high levels of lead, and is the NT's first man-made "volcano", with a smouldering pile of waste rock that's been belching noxious fumes for ten months.With this plus the shale gas industry knocking on Borroloola's door, the Traditional Owners are saying no and pledging to fight. Earth Matters brings you sounds and voices from the Borroloola Frackdown in October 2014. Guests: Nancy McDinny, Myra Rory, Gadrian Hoosan, Azman Rory, Borroloola Traditional Owners; Lauren Mellor, Environment Centre Northern Territory. Music by the infamous Sandridge Band!
