What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Latisha and Pam Francis, Narungga, Ngarrindjeri, and Kaurna sisters, brought a human rights case against the Australian Government during COP31 in Türkiye. They are among 10 Australians challenging the Government's failure to protect people from climate pollution linked to coal and gas. The sisters cited the algal bloom in South Australia’s Sea Country, which devastated marine life and disrupted cultural practices, including fishing.
