Firstly, I think the 'Climbing Ban' was orchestrated by Whites ironically.Based on the recent failings of non-aboriginal people having to get rescued from 'The Rock' by Helicopter.
Besides many people in the past having had heart-attacks climbing (helicoptered off) or just plain dying from falls.
The 'whites' can now 'reap the financial reward' of providing more 'Helicopter Scenic Rides' instead for those willing to pay $150-$300 to see it from above.
Aboriginal 'Spirituality'?
Well, although I am supportive of their cause - the translation of the use of the word 'spirituality' is lost on me.
For starters (and based on Master Mythologist Joseph Campbell) - their Dreamtime is a 'Mythology', not a Spirituality and definitely not a Religion ('written' word in books).
The only manifestation of Spirituality is 'Fashion' and if you look at anyone who considers themselves 'Spiritual' - they are mostly expressed 'visually' (at times artistically) by their
FASHION.I do consider Uluru has a significant importance of 'physical' description to 'our' existence as Australians as, like King Arthur had to learn in 'Excalibur' - to be 'one with the Land'. But having delved into many 'mythologies' both domestic for minorities and the global mythology that we are all trying to understand.
I can tell, you - Uluru has a significant part in the Global Mythology, not just to Aboriginals.
...but that's another story.
So no more tax-payer funded Helicopter rescues (as I'm sure the victims aren't paying the costs?).
Parliament House has 'banned' all walks upon the lawns above it and their excuse is 'security-terrorism-etc'.
As for Aboriginal empowerments, etc.
Well, as long as the Union Jack is on the Flag (giving significance to 'minorities') - the Aboriginals will always get 'special' treatment.
Of course - a
REPUBLIC, would wipe the slate clean and 'everyone' is given 'equal' share and empowerment. So until then...
...but that's another story.
