The Indigenous traditional owners of land in north-western Australia have been awarded a record A$150.1 million ($108.3m; £79.9m) payout after a court ruled one of the country's most well-known billionaires mined their land without permission.
The verdict amounts to the biggest native title payout ever awarded in Australia, and concludes a protracted legal battle between the Yindjibarndi people and Andrew Forrest's mining company Fortescue.
Since 2013, Fortescue's mines have generated tens of billions of dollars in revenue by extracting iron ore from Yindjibarndi land in remote north Western Australia.
The Yindjibarndi group had sought A$1.8bn compensation.
That figure, they argued, would constitute 1% of the production value profit of the mines, as well as compensation for the loss of around 250 cultural sites and cultural connection to the land.
