Yindjibarndi group wins $150 million from Fortescue in 18-year legal battle

The Yindjibarndi Aboriginal group won $150.1 million in compensation from Fortescue for cultural and economic losses after an 18-year legal battle. Chief executive Michael Woodley called the amount "unsatisfactory" and criticized Western Australia's government for arguing against the compensation rather than staying neutral. Woodley urged the state to "readjust priorities" and work equally with Traditional Owners on mining issues.
