That's pretty much what happened

Gordon comes out into the Pro Wrestling ring as Bojack and Peccary pin him to the ropes, but Gordon pulls out the old Khatoum manouvre of "Cultural Heritage" (of walking with the spirits of the mountain in honoring their heritage) and get off the ropes. The Grappler comes in for a back slam into Peccary & Bojack like from a high branch of evolution.
Brian the Ref makes a valid point to blow a whistle but Gordon gets off with the point "Who built Mt Warning then" 

As for the oogie-boogie tours and ceremonies.
Well nothing beats being out in the inland sea of dreamings and mindfulness around a campfire under the stars as a people more intune with their land than any other culture on the planet besides the Xhoi-San and Hottentot - but neither of these turned the Australian continent at a good habitable portion into a 'gargen' that first explorers described as a 'Parkland' like the wealthy estates of Europe. Perfectly and neatly manicured to provide the best of all that nature offers within easy reach both in flora and fauna. From space it would have looked like a work of art. The Songlines sung in traditional and modern styles. Laying under the stars while nightshift aboriginal attendants keep the night fires burning, strangers on the tour and aboriginal Cultural and Ranger staff. In the distance under the stars of around the dark emu in the Milky Way - IMMENSE in a clear night sky. An Aboriginal Elder and some musicians sing in the distance a secret ceremony to the travellers of space and time, a Songline that takes one onto the Dreamtime.

Oh, you also get to  see a lot of nubile and juggy National Geographic breasts.

Or - FFS - the Sydney Harbour Bridge?????   

I thought, as usual, that this had nothing to do with the Coon Cheese haters but everything to do with 'safety', 'cost of rescues', and 'damaging the rock'....

So what's it going to be - we're meekly giving in to the demands of ten people who most likely have zero idea what they are talking about and probably have next to no connection with the locals anyway - or is it because of concerns and costs?

Can't have it both ways - you're either surrendering it meekly against the wishes of the majority and without their consent, or you're lying... what part of NATIONAL Park do you not understand?

What WILL the moon dancers do without Mt Warning on a full moon night on a warm night?  Step aside for the First National Parkers?

Cods wants Brian's children.

I reckon it's more racist to treat Aboriginals like simple children who can't frame their ancient beliefs in a modern context.

Run the place properly, make some dosh out of it, employ a bunch of local Aboriginals who can send their kids to a good school who will send their kids to an even better school.

Nature.  Who worships Mt. Warning?  Do you?  No.  Do Indigenous Australians? Yes.  Time their views were given some respect for a change I think.  We don't need mining companies blowing up Gorges or destroying Indigenous sites.  We don't need gadabout tourists climbing a mountain.  Tsk, tsk.
