The self-proclaimed ‘attack dog’ lawyers who represented top-dog Gautam Adani’s interest in commencing bankruptcy proceedings against native title defender Adrian Burragubba have lived up to their name, Bob Brown said today.

"This is a despicable use of economic imprisonment of Burragubba to punish him for standing up for his Wangan and Jagalingou country against multi-billionaire Adani’s invasion and eviction from the mine site."

"Unlike Adani, Burragubba was born on country following hundreds of generations of his people also born on that country. This is a shameful day in Australia’s ongoing history of evicting and disempowering sovereign Aboriginal peoples from their lands."
