This reminds me of Abu's argument that Islam is entirely consistent with democracy. Just a "different type" of democracy, in which only muslims can vote, only Muslims can run for office, and Shariah law is the only platform you can run on.
If you cannot sell it, and you cannot even sell your share of it, and the government still has control over it, and you have no direct personal influence over what happens with it, then you do not own it. The analogy with the exercise of private property rights is entirely misleading, and just another desperate attempt to sweep government sponsored racism, sexism, communism etc under the carpet.
So what is your point then? That they don't really own it and therefore shouldn't be allowed to ban climbing - or that they should be given 'proper' ownership rights so its not so wacist? You are hopping from one leg to another, alternating between 'wacist and mysoginistic Aborigines - how dare they be so mean to whitey' and 'wacist government - how dare they be so mean to the Aborigines'. Like I said, you can't work out who you are whinging about.

You mean other than the fact that it is racist and sexist? Why is that not a legitimate basis?
Yes FD, other than that.
It is not legitimate because it is based on lies. Merely repeating the claim does not change the fact that its based on lies
