Up north Aboriginal people are losing their land. Down south workers are losing their jobs. Who gains and who loses when Australian uranium and other minerals are developed by multi national mining companies. Australia has some of the world’s largest reserves of uranium. The push to develop them has been fiercely opposed by many Australians. Through the daily lives of people in the remote north and urban south the conflict of interests is shown.
