Compulsory acquisition divides Broome

The Government's decision to compulsorily acquire the land near Broome for a $30 billion gas precinct has polarised the town.

Aboriginal and green groups say it is an outrageous decision and one that will galvanise opposition in the Kimberley, interstate and overseas.

The Broome Chamber of Commerce says it will be a boost for local business and ensure the town's long-term prosperity.

The state's Attorney General appealed against the decision, arguing it could mean a person could be legally male but still bear children.
