And to add....Aboriginals have ownership of vast tracks of land but often have no say when miners want their hands on the valuable resources they may contain, which is the the fundamental basics of the No campaign.
The idea that a Voice is discriminates against non-indigenous folk, and still no evidence on how this is so, is a furphy, it's a look over here distraction to hide the real reason, to deny Aboriginal people real ownership..
The right to traditional practices..... thanks for coming... and that includes 80% of the Northern Territory coastline.
Nah then - make sure you remember that - up there in Northern NSW ... the Parrots Tits government wants to give them traditional rights over a vast swathe of land starting west of Mt Warning (still in dispute and always will be) and across to Tenterfield... the Border Ranges on the NSW side.
What this means - in plain English - is the right to pursue traditional practices there - it does NOT mean ownership of that land or any right to exclude others from their traditional practices - such as bushwalking, camping etc. They SHARE it with all others, and nobody has ever, as far as I know, interfered with any 'traditional practices'. Ask nicely and most will just give you room ... just return the favour and all is jake.
Surely that's enough for a small group who, in most cases, never go there anyway, and they should let it go at that. You can bet they will not, spurred on by the activists and the useful fools who advocate that they 'need' such things or have a 'right' to them.
You are among those with your empty and unthinking rhetoric about things you clearly do not understand.
Meanwhile - on the Queensland side of that Range - and following over five years of outright terrorism in the car park etc at Mt Warning - bushfires are once again raging, and the iconic O'Reilly's (you know - the bloke who tracked the crashed Stinson and lead to rescues etc) is once again under threat of fire.
Coincidence?
I reckon some of you need a pool cue up your arse to wake you up.
