Can a stranger climb the steeple on the Sydney Cathedral, Gordon?
Can a stranger climb the arch on Sydney Harbour Bridge?
Can a stranger climb onto the roof of the MCG?
There are many places where strangers, unsupervised are not allowed to go. One of them happens to be Uluru now. Indigenous people are the traditional custodians of the Rock. They decide who climbs and who doesn't. Otherwise, why were they granted land rights?
Don't they do climbing tours of the harbour bridge?
I notice you didn't list any hills or mountains there Brian. Why is that?
You believe in religious rights don't you FD?
Uluru is a sacred site to many aboriginal people. It part of their religious belief. Shouldn't that right be respected?
People should have the right to freely practice their religion. They should not have the right to make the government impose their beliefs on others. As far as I know every single tribe had a number of sacred sites within their territory. If your religious beliefs include racist, sexist exclusions from natural monuments, then respecting that is just as dangerous as respecting a Muslim's belief in raping little girls.
The only reason Ayers rock seems to have more religious significance to Aboriginal people is because of the significance that non-aboriginal people have placed on it, economically, tourism, and as Light demonstrates, many non-Aboriginals also project a spiritual significance on it. It's easy to do with a mountain, especially one poking up from a flat plain. As far as the aboriginal's are concerned, it's just another one out of thousands or millions that happened to get handed over to them. It won't make them happy, just like allowing a Christian to hang on to one page of their Bible would not make them happy.
When you say we need to respect by imposition the racist, sexist, religious beliefs of Aborigines, what you really mean is that we have to give up on them and accept that they are inferior and cannot be held to the same liberal standards as everyone else.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. You spew endless gibberish on here. Like Nostradamus, among them might be a few gems that somehow resemble an unfolding truth. Unlike Nostradamus, you don't get to delete all the incorrect predictions.
