Quarry claim ‘dodgy’ Aboriginal body seeks listing, ‘threatens 50 jobs’ By Luke Voogt An Aboriginal heritage listing that could close an Anakie quarry has sparked calls for a parliamentary investigation into Victoria’s peak indigenous body.

“We’ve been fighting this listing now for almost three years,” Mr Jarvis told the Indy. “It’s been the worst three years of my life. “We’ll fight this until the very end. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
