Two brazen women, believed to be aboriginal, have been filmed illegally dumping huge piles of rubbish out of a ute onto a Western Australian road in broad daylight.
The act, which took place at 12.30pm on Saturday on Brook Road in the Perth suburb of Kenwick, was filmed by a local resident who posted the video on social media with the caption: “Welcome to country ceremony.”
The clip shows the red Mitsubishi Triton parked beside the road while the pair throw bags of rubbish onto the roadside and use rakes to pull loose pieces of trash out of the ute’s tray.
Some viewers speculated that the women were Indian, but the driver who filmed the incident insisted they were “100% indigenous”, and told Noticer News they had an aboriginal flag on display in their car.
He said there was a sign nearby warning about illegal dumping, and that the area was commonly used as a dumping ground even though the local councils provided four free skip bins a year to each household and had “really good recycling”.
“They were really brazen, there were three people in the car, they saw me with the camera and the only thing they did was flip the bird as I drove away,” he said.

The video sparked outrage from Aussies in the comment section, with many calling for the women to be prosecuted.
“Jesus this pisses me off! Good job for filming them! How does anyone think this is ok?” wrote one person.
“No wonder why the country is slowly going down the shithole. You wouldn’t see this in Japan, Singapore and so on. Countries where the people respect the land and look after it. Not like Uncle and Auntie over here in Australia,” wrote another.
A Western Australian registration check shows that the ute’s vehicle licence expired in November last year.
Illegal dumping in Western Australia is punishable with fines of up to $125,000 for corporations and $62,500 for individuals.
Cities around Australia have been grappling with an explosion of illegal dumping, and recent data shows more than 200,000 reports are now received nationwide every year.
Almost 50% of the incidents occurred in Victoria, where the state government earlier this year announced an $8.5 million rebate scheme to help fund rubbish removal and clean-ups, and a $13.5 million expansion of Victoria’s illegal dumping enforcement task force.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data shows that the outskirts of Melbourne were the areas most heavily impacted by illegal dumping, and saw huge increases in waste in 2025.
In January a Queensland man filmed himself calling out an illegal dumper caught in the act throwing rubbish out of the boot of his car, and was applauded by fellow Aussies online.
