Paper long abstract:
In this paper we draw on our ethnographic work in Central Queensland to address disputes relating to coal and unconventional gas extraction in the Galilee and Bowen Basins. We focus on the intersection between kinship, landed identity and divergent aspirations for the future within the context of resource developments and environmental debates. While addressing intra-Indigenous agency within these disputes, we also pay attention to structural constraints introduced by the native title system, as well as the role of different kinds of Whitefellas in fomenting disputes, and seeking to resolve them.
