Aboriginal groups and environmentalists are planning protests across Australia after failing to block the development of auranium mine on traditional Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory. Australia's federal court ruled last week that the territory's government had the right to grant a mining lease at Jabiluka, which lies inside a World Heritage-listed national park, to Energy Resources of Australia (ERA). The company is one of the Australia's two uranium producers.
