00:00Alongside ancient rock art and native wildlife, the Karratha gas plant is set to flare for
00:10decades to come.
00:13Woodside first applied to extend the facility six years ago.
00:17The city's peak business body relieved.
00:19The final approval, a confidence boost for local business.
00:22When people have that continuity, they can then have confidence investing in their staff,
00:27equipment, training and all of those things that are going to make the Karratha business economy stronger.
00:32Woodside says the project supports thousands of jobs and has contributed over $300 million to Pilbara communities.
00:39But many argue those economic benefits don't flow through to everyone.
00:44For our members, for the Irrimungadu community, for the local Aboriginal community,
00:48I guess we hope to see some improvement in conditions.
00:52Right now, the local Aboriginal community has some of the most extreme economic disadvantage in the country.
00:58And that's on the doorstep of billion dollar industry.
01:01They talk about the economic benefits and gains.
01:04Well, some of our community don't see that in the full effect.
01:07That's something one of the traditional owners of Mora Juga impressed upon the minister
01:11when she penned this letter to him in August.
01:13It describes how people are living in poverty while trying to fight for the landscape.
01:18The approval granted with a raft of conditions, traditional owners now focusing on their detail.
01:23It's really important to remember that in the Pilbara, the traditional owner community
01:27are inundated with environmental, heritage, major Commonwealth approvals on a daily, weekly basis.
01:34So comprehending and going through what this means in complex legal language can be challenging.
01:40Understanding the role First Nations people will play in implementing these conditions, top of the list.
01:48So perhaps, if you can get a bit of a fairly clear perspective, you can take a bit of a little theatre across the screen.
01:52But let's see what happens.
01:54There are three Ill jalislands in the past.
01:56So the first thing you need to think about is the most important thing.
01:58The most important thing is that this has been a long-term belief in a future,
02:01a constant belief in a permanent belief in a place.
02:03It does not always need to be the most important, as you know.
02:05More than one result, it does not necessarily take a lot of blue.
02:07The most important thing is that this is the most important thing.
02:08The most important thing is to remind you that the nation and the most important thing,
02:13the most important things, because one of the place is the most important thing in a place of art.
