This is a record of an illegitimate ‘native title’ meeting (16 March 2011) sponsored by the iron ore miner, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) and its CEO, Andrew Forrest, the richest man in Australia. It shows how FMG, its agents, a lawyer and an opportunist splinter faction tried to strong-arm the Yindjibarndi community into removing all its objections to FMG’s mining in Yindjibarndi country (Pilbara, Western Australia), and into expelling the majority Claim Applicants who rejected FMG’s deal as a rip-off.

It's time we took our Country back from the fat cats.
Why oh why do we let these takers talk for Australia?
Forrest is unaustralian, he would sell us all out to China in a flash.
