More claims were raised as resolutions at the company's annual general meeting today criticising the proposed development of an onshore gas industry and its potential to harm traditional lands.

"I have visited the Beetaloo operations and met with our host Traditional Owners myself, as have our CEO and several other directors," Mr Cairns said in his department chairman's address to the AGM.

"Our host Traditional Owners have agreed to and support our exploration work in the Beetaloo, including our planned activities at planned locations and hydraulic fracture stimulation.

"We work with the Northern Land Council to engage Traditional Owners who are the Native Title holders and claimaints who may speak legally and culturally for the areas where our activities are proposed.

"We have had on-country meetings with them this year, as well as on site following the resumption of exploration, and they have been working with us on sacred site surveys and other clearances.

"I am very confident in the way we engage with Traditional Owners, with our processes for engagement guided by the principles of free, prior and informed consent."

According to Lock the Gate Alliance, a senior Traditional Owner from Marlinja community and Native Title holder for the area surrounding Origin Energy's Beetaloo Exploration Project has told the company it is not welcome on his homelands during its Annual General Meeting.

Ray Dimakarri Dixon submitted the below question on behalf of his community during the AGM, both in English and his traditional language Mudburra, of which there are less than 100 speakers in the entire world.

It was read to attendees this morning.

"This is a statement from the Mudburra Jingili people. Listen to our words, you and your company are strangers to these homelands, our sacred grounds," Mr Dixon said.

"We don't want fracking to continue on our land.

"It puts our environment, our culture, our water and our community at risk.

"We don't want a gas pipeline running through our land because it damages our sacred sites. When will you stop this destruction and leave our lands?"

"Barna lankaj karri nginyama yurrawa...nyundiya karribadarra banda warnayaka kayini nginyangka ngurrangka.

"Ngana nyunduma karriba? abala ban kayini nginyangka yulungka ban burdakbiji kayini. Ngadarra?"

Origin officials told the AGM it had completed fracking tests on its Beetaloo drill site and hoped to make the results public soon.
