Stepping outside of parliament again and Community Leader Antonia Burke is addressing the Climate Integrity Summit about what she and her community is doing to protect her home of Tiwi Islands.

She is speaking about how First Nations peoples are reshaping the battle against fossil fuel expansion, giving a heartfelt and emotional address about the devastating impact fossil fuels are having on her and other communities – not to mention the oceans and wildlife.

Her address is directed at those who have ever felt powerless in the face of environmental destruction – and offers hope from First Nations’ leadership in the global movement for climate justice.

“We changed the regulations of this country and gained the right of all Australians to be consulted on these [offshore gas projects],” Ms Burke said.

“But we do not have a right to veto. The only ones who can veto are our governments.”
