Call to protect Northern Territory park from fracking

Indigenous leaders are converging on Canberra to protest potential fracking in a Northern Territory national park.

Watarrka (Kings Canyon) National Park in the Northern Territory

The traditional owners of the Watarrka (Kings Canyon) National Park will seek an emergency heritage listing after the NT government didn't respond to a request to protect the park from a fracking exploration licence.

"We're not going to give it to mining company, that'll be breaking our spirit, drilling into that land," said Watarrka

traditional owner Julie Clyne.
