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.
Higher appeal over transgender decision
Last year, the two, who were born female, won the right to be legally considered male even though they had not undergone surgery to remove their reproductive organs.
The state's Attorney General appealed against the decision, arguing it could mean a person could be legally male but still bear children.
