We've just launched a new website to help protect Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in Western Australia.

The 2020 destruction of 46,000-year-old rock caves in the Pilbara sent shockwaves around the world. It wasn’t the first event of its kind, and it won’t be the last. Australia’s cultural heritage is being harmed or destroyed every day.

The proposed Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act will not stop the destruction of cultural heritage sites and should not be rushed through Parliament by the State Government of WA.

If you're in Perth there will be a protest march on October 23rd.

If you can't get in Western Australia (like us) then write to the premier, Mark McGowan letting him know that you strongly oppose the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill which is before parliament.
