Statement on Channel 7 Regional News coverage

Statement by Raelene Cooper, Save Our Songlines spokesperson:

"Last night, I was interviewed by 7 News Regional WA for a story on the World Heritage application for the Murujuga cultural landscape. I was not aware that Channel 7 would use culturally restricted images of the Murujuga rock art in their story and did not see the vision before it went to air. Save Our Songlines provided Channel 7 with alternative, culturally safe footage which they did not use. Save Our Songlines has contacted Channel 7 and asked them not to use culturally sensitive images in their future coverage. We take cultural safety seriously in our role as Custodians."
