The Australian government has granted the U.S. bauxite mining company Alcoa a national interest exemption, allowing it to continue operations despite years of unauthorized clearing in the country’s Northern Jarrah Forest.

The forest is a critical habitat for three threatened black cockatoo species, including the critically endangered Baudin’s black cockatoo.

Environmental organizations, such as BirdLife Western Australia, say the government’s agreement with Alcoa, which includes a payment of A$55 million and the implementation of conservation programs to protect the black cockatoo species, is not enough to protect the species.

We are excited to reveal the theme for History Week 2026 is Keeping Stories.

Australians are renowned for spinning a good yarn but how do stories keep history alive and what do they tell us about ourselves?

During History Week 2026, from 5 – 13 September, we invite our members to explore the theme of Keeping Stories – from truth telling to tall tales and beyond. For what is history if not the story of us?

For more information and to join us during History Week 2026 by registering your online or in person event see the link in bio.
