Traditional owners in Northern Territory, Australia, are suing the state government to grant a water licence—the largest groundwater allocation in the state—to a controversial company with alleged ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The 30-year licence gives Chinese company Fortune Agribusiness the right to use more than 40,000 megalitres, or 16,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools, worth of water each year in Australia for irrigation for its fruit and vegetable project.
