2016 joint award winner
For many years, Regina McKenzie and other Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners have worked to regenerate and protect their homelands around Yappala Station in the Flinders Ranges.
In April 2016, they woke to the news the area was being considered for a nuclear waste dump – without their consultation or consent.
Since that time, Regina has lead the opposition to this proposal among her people and the broad Australian community.
