Representative of Urannah Homelands I would like to say that the announcement of Government Budget this week to not fund #Urannah Dam project was a great decision to not fund a project that wasn't Culturally Environmentally or Financially viable.

Urannah Dam in north Queensland would direct $500m to a company run by people with links to the Liberal National party.
Could return as little as 26 cents per Dollar!

Companies linked to Urannah Dam project donate more than $150,000 to Liberal National party. Taxpayer funding to the #Urannah project had been allocated for “brazenly political purposes” #FederalICAC #auspol

Urannah dam business case assumes massive growth in Queensland coalmining.
We were saying from the start, this project is about providing water for coal at the taxpayers expense

While we are seeing catastrophic flooding across QLD, why are they even suggesting to dam such a powerful river? The proposed #Urannah dam project will be an extreme disaster.

#Urannah Dam is proposed to be built where Widi and Birri Country meet, on the Broken river
It will inundate the valuable ecology in our Country and sites of significant cultural heritage
We will GUNDA – fight – for Country and for the living waters
Will you stand with us?

The Northern Quoll is just one of the many species of animal that call #Urannah home.
A carnivorous marsupial feeding primarily on invertebrates, but also consume fleshy fruit, and a range of vertebrates.
We must protect habitat and the living waters which sustain our land.
There is no money for #urannahdam as well as no consent from First nation owners.
This proposed project would have been a financial and environmental disaster for #QLD.

The Mackay Mayor has fired up over a lack of local funding in the federal budget, with no money allocated for the Urannah Dam. Greg Williamson claims this budget wasn't about the regions, but a lead up to the election. 7NEWS.com.au @AshDwan #fedpol #7NEWS

Final terms of reference for the proposed #Urannah Dam have been released. They plan to waste $2.9 billion of Australian and QLD's tax money on a project that doesn't add up financially, environmentally disastrous and no consent from Widi people. #qldpol
