Gaan-Yarra, Murrumu, and Yirrilam dive into the ongoing native title battle involving Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest and Fortescue. Despite the Federal Court ordering a historic $150.1 million compensation payout to the Yindjibarndi people. Also, they look at a new study reveals that the pre-colonial Indigenous population was far larger than previous estimates—suggesting a median population of 2.22 million people.
