Town Fined Under WA Aboriginal Heritage Laws

ED: This ruling sets a dangerous precedent where mythological beliefs are being enforced through legal mechanisms. While respecting cultural heritage is important, prosecuting a local council for emergency repairs based on the alleged disturbance of a mythical creature is beyond rational governance. This is a slippery slope—what’s next, fines for angering the Dreamtime spirits? Western Australia appears to be prioritising superstition over practical governance, and ratepayers are footing the bill.
