what process did they use FD?
Quote:No-one is forcing them to exclude people from Uluru based on racism and superstitious belief.
Good thing they are not then ehh.
They used a political process, based on racism. Pretty much the opposite of Mabo. They did this because, for obvious reasons, the courts rejected a Mabo-style claim on our most iconic national monument.
Their exclusion is based on superstitious belief and they were only permitted to get their superstition enshrined in law because they are aborigines. Contrary to your claim, white people would not be permitted to pull the same stunt. It would be shouted down with hysterical cries of racism.
That's right, FD. Aborigines hold things called traditional beliefs. It's hard to understand, I know, but the shift to
preserving these beliefs is seen as the opposite of past racist policies.
So unfair, I know. The Stolen Generation, the Native Protection Boards, the White Australia Policy - these were implemented to stop such diabolical racism of the kind we see today.
Fancy giving Boongs your national icon. What a load of wacist tosh.
Shurely it could be mined instead.
