The Yindjibarndi people have won a record A$150.1 million payout after a court ruled billionaire Andrew Forrest's mining company, Fortescue, mined their land without permission.

• This landmark verdict is the biggest native title payout ever awarded in Australia.
• The ruling concludes a nearly 20-year legal battle that began after Fortescue started mining iron ore on Yindjibarndi land in the Pilbara region.
• The court awarded A$150 milion for cultural loss and A$150,000 for economic loss, though some Yindjibarndi elders called the payout "peanuts" compared to the company's profits.
