Designing and undertaking research for the Single Noongar Claim
This commentary concerns the design of research undertaken for the Single Noongar Claim in southwestern Western Australia. It draws attention to the benefits that innovative research approaches can bring to native title research generally, and the opportunities that the approach brought to the team of anthropologists working on the Single Noongar Claim specifically. It addresses two key practical challenges the research design sought to overcome.…
‘This Thing Moves Underground’: Fracking and Indigenous Subsurface Cultural Heritage in Northern Australia
This article addresses fracking and subsurface Indigenous cultural heritage protection in northern Australia. Drawing on 1260 public submissions made to the Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the Northern Territory, we think through the implications of the Inquiry’s recommendation that the Aboriginal Sacred Sites (Northern Territory) Act be amended to ensure all subsurface features of Aboriginal sacred sites are protected from future…
The Golden Age of Gas and the energy crisis
The war in Ukraine and the global energy crisis have brought the geopolitics of gas into stark relief. Recent promises of a ‘Golden Age of Gas’ and energy independence among countries extracting gas through fracking have not materialized. Anthropology addresses these contradictions and the various effects of changes in society's vital essence. Research demonstrates that the energy crisis is not just a distribution problem in uncertain times. It i…
Energy solution or future pollution? Applying an energy justice perspective to coal seam gas in New South Wales
The emergence of an unconventional extractive industry of coal seam gas (CSG) in New South Wales, Australia has caused a range of social tensions. Although the industry has generally received strong support from state-level governments across Australia, an eclectic social movement has arisen in opposition. Critical questions of justice have emerged in these debates about CSG, particularly about the ‘winners' and ‘losers' that would emerge should …

The Great Artesian Basin: A Contested Resource Environment of Subterranean Water and Coal Seam Gas in Australia
The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) in Australia is one of the largest subterranean aquifer systems in the world. In this article we venture into the subterranean “resource environment”’ of the Great Artesian Basin and ask whether new insights can be provided by social analyses of the “vertical third dimension” in contemporary contests over water and coal seam gas. Our analysis makes use of a large number of publicly available submissions made to rece…
Unconventional gas developments and the politics of risk and knowledge in Australia
Aboriginal engagement and agreement-making with a rapidly developing resource industry: Coal seam gas development in Australia
The onshore development of coal seam gas (CSG) is expanding rapidly in Australia. The industry's interaction with Aboriginal people has entailed 35 Indigenous Land Use Agreements in the State of Queensland in the period 2010–2013. Though the mining sector and, to some extent, conventional oil and gas development, are the source of much of our knowledge about agreement making in extractive industries, CSG extraction presents distinctive challenges…
Silences in the boom: Coal seam gas, neoliberalizing discourse, and the future of regional Australia
In high-stakes resource use struggles currently playing out across the world, different beliefs about economics and "growth-first" regional development underpin decisions and dynamics that have far-reaching consequences. Neoliberalizing political economies rely on the maintenance of particular beliefs associated with these themes, and work to delegitimize and silence alternatives. Thus understanding the beliefs of actors concerning these themes, …
Hydraulically fractured: Unconventional gas and anthropology (Respond to this article at http://www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)
The predicted increase in unconventional gas production is set to change global energy and concomitant geopolitical relations. The scale and required infrastructure of unconventional gas extraction result in profound changes in the landscape where extraction and processing take place. Widespread public concerns about the impacts of this industry have emerged, particularly with regard to fracking, surface and subterranean water contamination, air …
The Agri-Gas Fields of Australia: Black Soil, Food, and Unconventional Gas
Underneath some of the most exceptional Australian farm lands lie far more unconventional natural resources: huge methane reserves contained inside deep underground coal seams. In the last few years, Australia has seen a veritable boom in high capital foreign investments to extract and export this coal seam gas (CSG), particularly in the state of Queensland, where a few thousand gas wells have now been constructed despite significant opposition a…
The Symbolic Politics of Belonging and Community in Peri‐urban Environmental Disputes: The Traveston Crossing Dam in Queensland, Australia
This paper examines a recent dispute generated by the Queensland State Government proposal to build the Traveston Crossing Dam on the Mary River in southeast Queensland, Australia. It is particularly concerned with the ways in which interrelated issues of belonging, community identity, and social diversity were negotiated during the anti‐dam campaign. As an unusual alliance of farmers, environmentalists, urban retirees, some Aboriginal people and…
