Custodians of one of the world’s oldest art galleries have staged a protest outside Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s office, calling for more protection for ancient artworks.

Murujuga, on the Burrup peninsula in Western Australia, is the largest collection of Aboriginal rock art – also known as petroglyphs – in the world.
