Bolt celebrates Federal Court 'victory' against 'woke race politics'

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says there was a small victory in the Federal Court today against the “woke race politics” threatening our economic future.
Mr Bolt said the Santos’s $5.8bn Barossa offshore gas project can finally go ahead following a decision by Justice Natalie Charlesworth to dismiss a legal challenge by a group of Tiwi Islanders.
"But how did it get to this legal brawl, all these expensive delays," Mr Bolt said.
“Talking whales, crocodile men, rainbow serpents who hate gas pipelines, a dodgy map about supposed Aboriginal sea culture.
“All pushed by a green activist legal service, part funded by the Albanese government, to stop gas projects we badly need.
“Got to ask why we're forced to pay for activists who help hurt us by exploiting the most irrational superstitions.”

Thats not a great idea as it would then be too great a risk for legitimate protest and companies would meet no resistance whatsoever. There is absolutely a place for environmental protection and protests have been the last line of defence in the past, however this should be defensible by actual evidence of environmental or historical significance. I often work on projects which have to be designed around environmental or historical sites which are identified by sending surveyors and experts into the field to identify. This nonsense about mythical creatures is not ok.

Thank you Mr Bolt for bringing this reality to the town square. Here in the West if you want to consult with the Aboriginie's remember there's only 20,000 left in WA. How you pick them is they refer to the spirit world through the tribal communities spirit man, not spirit women. Female tribal women have their own belief systems but they do not interfer with the decisions and spiritual beliefs of the elders who are also always men.
