SUMMARY

Traditional owners, represented by Equity Generation Lawyers, have lodged human rights complaints to 12 banks over their involvement in Santos' $4.7 billion Barossa gas project. These complaints have been submitted through banks' internal human rights grievance processes. Traditional Owners are asking the banks to withdraw their $1.5 billion loan to Santos for the Barossa project and proposed lending for the Darwin LNG project. Complaints have been made against ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, and NAB, as well as eight international banks and three international export credit agencies.
