Solidarity Fundraiser For Elder Aunty Sue Against Rockets On Kokatha Country

  • 303 303 High Street Northcote, VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

Across so-called ''Australia'', military and industrial projects have repetively undermined First Nations peoples' rights to their lands, culture, and laws. Currently, Senior Kokatha Elder Aunty Sue Coleman Haseldine is actively challenging the company Southern Launch, who run Koonibba Test Range, a rocket launch and testing site established over Kokatha Country. Approved in 2020, the project excluded Aunty Sue from any consultation, as well their potential and now actual defense ties.

Aunty Sue is out on country continually carrying out her cultural responsibilities and practice. Whilst being deeply concerned about the threat these activities pose to sacred sites, local ecosystems, and the safety of being out there as rockets fly over. We want to raise awareness about her fight and raise funds for both her and for Native Title Rockets, a documentary currently in post-production that shares her story and the significance of this cause.
