Mining on reindeer land

[Matilda]

"Hannans Reward is undertaking several exploratory operations near a town called Kiruna to see if it can proceed with open pit iron-ore, copper and gold mines.

But the location of the proposed mines is on Indigenous Saami land and critical reindeer herding habitats.

The Saami say the mines will threaten their millennia old culture and they've started a campaign to stop the Australian company."

Not content with ripping the hell out of this country, now they're trying it on in Europe as well. Here, they're aided by a dipshit conservative government that works in the interests of big money - I hope they've met their match in Scandinavia.
