They've also highlighted that AGL's Cultural Heritage Management Plans look only at archaeological sites, taking a much narrower focus than is defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006

[Environment Victoria @EnviroVic]

BLCAC argue that AGL should complete consultation and adequately assess tangible and intangible Aboriginal places and assess their significance before appraising the risk associated with this project

[Environment Victoria @EnviroVic]

AGL have written the Aboriginal Heritage Assessment Technical Report as if the Cultural Heritage Managament Plans have been prepared. In reality, they haven't even finished the consultation process for these plans.

Today the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Coporation (BLCAC) presented at the #CribpointEES. They outlined serious problems in @aglenergy's Aboriginal Heritage Assessment Technical Report. Thread 👇

Ten of us and many more in #Frankston, #Dunkley, #Hastings who urge you @DanielAndrewsMP @JacintaAllanMP to stop works on sacred #DjabWurrung Country and show due respect to DjabWurrung custodians. Cultural genocide is unacceptable. #solidarity

We are DjabWurrung, we will not give up this fight. Supreme Court today granted an injunction til 19th November.

Accept the #NZ offer @ScottMorrisonMP and let hundreds of refugees get to safety. 8 years is too long. The solution has been available for 7 years, take it. And end the suffering for people offshore and on @SonnyBWilliams #GameOver

12 months ago I went and met with Djab Wurrung people & elders on their country. I understood the significance of these 800 + year old trees 🌳 & I felt their pain. Today I’m shattered for them all. This destruction was unnecessary & disgraceful! 😢

Get behind @NATSILS_ and their call for an inquiry into police use of covid special powers. #Djabwurrung #DjabWurrungTrees

Sacred Directions Tree, 350+ years old, was violently and unceremoniously cut down on the 26th of October, 2020. As children wailed.

We demand that the remains of Her body be returned to Djab Wurrung Country

On Monday our biggest nightmare became a cold hard reality. The sounds of chainsaws, excessive police force, the crying of children. We felt defeated as an element of our culturally significant landscape was torn away, taken, gone forever. We are the last generation to ever be...

[rosie @rosieanice]

We need to think critically about the systems and beliefs that allow the trees mentioned in this thread to be deemed significant, and worthy of protection; while the sacred #djabwurrung trees are at risk of being destroyed (or have been destroyed) to facilitate a highway.

[RAHU - Renters and Housing Union @RAHUnion]

Construction workers put up a sign with the Aboriginal flag and the word "RESPECT". What an absolute joke.

[Timna Jacks @TimnaJacks]

This tree was cut down 2 months before the Djab Wurrung was poised to challenge federal government approvals for its destruction in the Federal Court. The government was asked to halt the felling, but appears to have ignored this.

[Timna Jacks @TimnaJacks]

The Djab Wurrung believe that the child's placenta was mixed with the seed of this tree and from then on, it became the child's own 'directions tree'. It was a place where that person could come to could connect to themselves and their ancestry.

@VictoriaPolice Why couldn't you bring donuts to #DjabWurrung people instead of moving in on their land today to enable sacred trees to be cut? It's impossible to celebrate knowing this has been done. zero excuses.
@DanielAndrewsMP

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

So if you liked the Avatar film, maybe you’d appreciate how it feels when your sacred ancestor trees are torn down by the very government who want to Treaty with us. Absolutely gutted and feel the pain of our ancestors right now 😞
