Friends of McArthur River are in mourning at the loss of a good friend and strong activist. Mr Timothy (who cannot be identified further for cultural reasons) died on Friday after a lifetime of struggle for his people and country.

Mr Timothy, aged only 43, was a leader amoungst his people and the key spokesperson in the campaign to save the McArthur River. It is a tragedy to lose Mr Timothy, and the Northern Territory and Australia are diminished by his premature death.

Our thoughts are with Mr Timothy’s family.
