“Until we know no more Yindjibarndi are coming, we’ve got no right to give this country away.”
Michael Woodley, Bidarra law carrier, CEO Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation
In the second half of our conversation, Michael Woodley talks about the struggles the community have had with mining company FMG and how this David and Goliath battle has shaped the community as well as himself. If you would like more information about the case (and let's face it, it's pretty complicated) we recommend you start with the explainer and to get a sense of what the Yindjibarndi are trying to protect, take a moment to look at the series of photoessays.

Andrew Wear is a public policy expert from Melbourne. He’s worked across a vast array of policy areas from Planning and Community, Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. But his view is global. That came in handy when he decided to write a book that looked at how some of the world’s biggest problems were being solved. Regarded by Andrew as a journey of discovery for himself, the book is called SOLVED - and it details how ten countries solved ten big problems from climate change to multiculturalism. It's a brilliantly researched and inspiring read whether you’re into public policy itself or simply a resident of planet Earth.
