A lot of traditional owners made a lot of money out that mine.

This bloke who has been a controversial trouble making figure in QLD and the NT for years is one on them.

Murrandoo(Jason) Yanner.

Yet he's gone down this road.

I don't think they should be singing this dork's praises - that's a pretty average CV ...

Speaking of sacred sites .... do you know that most of the locations where there are cave/overhanging rock art the depictions are altered by Aboriginals themselves?

Yep - every 5 years they come along and touch up these drawings/ ochre sprayed hand silhouettes by adding more colour to faded ones.

I would hardly call them authentic traditional rock art if they are constantly added to every 5 years.

Who is to say how old they really are after that?
