ABC’s explosive Four Corners investigation, the Water Grab, recently revealed the NT government’s environmental regulation of nature and water is failing. It’s riddled with illegalities and conflicts of interest. 


Globally significant savanna is being bulldozed without environmental assessment to make way for industrial-scale thirsty cotton crops. Precious groundwater is being given away for free, leading to cultural flows of intact rivers dropping and being impacted by pollution.

ABC’s explosive Four Corners investigation, the Water Grab, recently revealed the NT government’s environmental regulation of nature and water is failing. It’s riddled with illegalities and conflicts of interest. 


Globally significant savanna is being bulldozed without environmental assessment to make way for industrial-scale thirsty cotton crops. Precious groundwater is being given away for free, leading to cultural flows of intact rivers dropping and being impacted by pollution.


After years of not only facilitating these policies, the NT Labor government and Pastoral Lands Board have also been ignoring the concerns of First Nations and communities calling for a better process and fair say in decision-making. 


Recent social research has shown that 2 in 3 Territorians1 want stronger nature laws to tackle deforestation and give First Nations and communities a fair say. With a freshly elected incoming Country Liberal Party government in the NT, there is an opportunity for change. 


A federal Royal Commission will get to the bottom of NT deforestation and water failures, work out who is accountable, make findings and recommend changes to policies and laws. 


Join us in calling on the federal government to enact a Royal Commission into NT deforestation and water regulations, pause inappropriate developments and hold corporates and decision-makers in the NT accountable to national agreements.
