Yeah I figured you'd back down you coward.
Well - we all knew you were never in it - I said to send in the army to bring order as is normal when local authorities cannot control a situation - you made it into your fantasy.
Hmmmm - shoot on sight.... your idea has merit... even you can hit one once in a while.
You're fixated in your narrow mind, you see - no room in there for any send-up or subtlety, and certainly no room there for any idea that the Keffir need to get their own act together and stop all the whining and stealing and other law-breaking themselves.... stop training their kids in how to continue the brushfire war against Whartey while holding the hand out for more and more and more..
10% might be worth saving doesn't mean knocking 90% on the head - just turning them loose in their own paddock as they demand and leave 'em to it.
Native title now - what a farce.... you have the right to free use of public land and to free expression of your religious beliefs (even if it is spirits-based and you 'hear voices') - in reality no more rights than any citizen is supposed to equally enjoy in national parks and over national icons such as Mt Warning and the Horizontal Falls etc.... NOBODY owns those! They are held in trust by government and its agencies and neither of those bodies has any right, or ever will have any right, to just give them away.
Now - native title is NOT freehold - they do not own the land outright - which is a loss to everyone, and the cause of endless trouble over the 'confusion' that this leads to - and that can even mean outright violence. So - how do stupid governments fix this?
When there is some legitimate land claim with proven unbroken residence, under modern rules and laws it is simply not possible for anyone to come along and say 'this was once our ancestors walking patch, so it must be ours' - so what MUST be made clear in the legislation surrounding 'native title' is that this is for NATIVE uses only - and does not imply exclusive ownership.
This needs to be made clear to all applicants, courts, government bodies and ordinary people.
There is a trap (or two) in 'native title' - the first trap is that they cannot build etc on native title land... the second is that native title is a gifting by government, meaning that at some undefined future time - that gifting may be resumed - say for development in the Shoalwater Bay hinterland etc. There have been complaints from thinking Elders already, over the years, that they cannot even build a house on 'native title' land.
So what is needed is the gifting of a PORTION of claimed lands as Freehold, and perfect clarity over the right to free use of the rest - but NOT the right to exclude others from the same rights of free use over the rest.
The only reason I can see that politicians do not simply do this - is that they wish to hold the door open to any and every thing they can use to divide and split people and perpetuate differences eternally - instead of bringing everyone together on the same page. At the same time they leave the doors wide open for 'activist judges' to effectively create law by their 'interpretation' of what should be simple issues, thus creating a fertile field for further endless trouble and strife.
The only reason for any of that is simply to keep the voting public off balance and constantly in a state of upheaval over what is essentially nothing. This is either rampant stupidity or genuine policy - I see it as genuine policy to try to cement their own position as supreme lawmakers.... and you can see the same thing in other areas of 'issues' doing the rounds at this time.
