Yindjibarndi Aboriginal group wins $150.1 million from Fortescue after 18 years

The Yindjibarndi Aboriginal group won $150.1 million in compensation from mining giant Fortescue for cultural and economic losses after an 18-year legal battle. Chief executive Michael Woodley called the award "unsatisfactory" and criticized Western Australia's government for opposing their compensation claim instead of remaining neutral. The Federal Court found Fortescue liable for damages to the Pilbara region's traditional owners.
