Secret men's business could threaten gas hub

MARK COLVIN: An area marked for a massive gas project in Western Australia has hit another potential hurdle.

An Indigenous man says it's a sacred site for secret men's business.

Traditional owners in the Kimberley have reached agreement with Woodside and the state and federal governments for a gas hub at James Price Point, north of Broome.

But Goolarabooloo man Joseph Roe says the site was known for ceremonies associated with initiations and secret business.

Joseph Roe says he is prepared to testify if necessary but only in a court of men.

He spoke to our reporter David Weber.
