Powerful graffiti at the site highlighted concerns about water theft and the call for Land Back, reflecting the deep concerns many communities have about water extraction, the ongoing impacts of mining, and the importance of respecting First Nations sovereignty. Our visit comes as recent changes to the Roxby Downs Act and Indenture have granted BHP 50-year copper-uranium mining rights. Campaigners and Aboriginal groups have criticised the process, saying Traditional Owners were denied meaningful consultation and that their concerns were ignored. Questions have also been raised about the limited consultation period and the delayed application of Aboriginal heritage protections. Standing together at Olympic Dam reinforced why these struggles matter. This is about more than a mine—it's about protecting water, respecting Country, and supporting First Nations peoples in their calls for justice, self-determination, and the return of land. Water is life. Water is sacred.
