Assessing environmental liabilities of mining in Northern Australia: A case study of the McArthur River Mine
Highlights severe adverse effects on Indigenous communities from mining, including ecosystem service and well-being losses and opportunity costs, which are mostly unaccounted for in the environmental assessments. • Offers insights for improving environmental and mining legislation to protect ecosystems and Indigenous communities. • Fills a significant gap in assessing the true economic impacts of mining activities by using market and non-market v…
Intermittent urgency and states of deferral—Or, how many houses for a mine
This paper traces the temporal tactics of continually renewed coloniality—where some impasses are made to appear insurmountable while others demand swift solutions—in relation to housing and mining at Borroloola in Australia's Northern Territory. Distinct policy and regulatory regimes encourage analyses that set housing and mining apart. Yet together they signal the settler state's simultaneous remedial and extractive orientations to remote Abori…
Converging old and new carbon frontiers in northern Australia
Over the past 15 years, international climate policy and governance practice have shifted from a linear model of carbon emissions management to a circular model. Whereas the former primarily focused on reducing absolute emissions, the latter focuses on balancing emissions sources and sinks. Australia, a major global exporter of ‘old’ carbon resources such as coal, has actively embraced circular carbon policies and their related ‘new’ carbon resou…
Divisible Governance: Making Gas-fired Futures during Climate Collapse in Northern Australia
Despite widespread acceptance that their emissions accelerate climate change and its disastrous ecological effects, new fossil fuel extraction projects continue apace, further entrenching fossil fuel dependence, and thereby enacting particular climate futures. In this article, we examine how this is occurring in the case of a proposed onshore shale gas "fracking" industry in the remote Northern Territory of Australia, drawing on policy and legal …
Securing supply: Governing drinking water in the Northern Territory
This article considers the spatial and material implications of drinking water regulation in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia. Responding to water contamination and scarcity events in remote NT communities, we argue that the politico-bureaucratic edifice of uniform drinking water governance and service provision across the NT is a state-curated fiction. The article outlines the available legislative protections for drinking water supply i…
Waging Paperfare: Subverting the Damage of Extractive Capitalism in Kakadu
Drawing on campaigns waged and administrative burdens managed by the Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation (GAC) in Kakadu National Park to manage the effects of existing uranium mining and further proposed mining, this article draws attention to some of the techniques and coalitions that GAC has created to manage its would‐be managers. It uses the case of monitoring the operations and particularly the rehabilitation of the Ranger Uranium mine and of…
