Inspiration, perhaps. Kipling is dead. Not conscious anyway. Is there a work of his that I am imitating?

What public opinion was that?  How was it expressed?  How was it collated?  What were the questions asked?  Does that mean that every person disadvantaged in the past now requires reparations?

This is like the sheila argument about 'lifetime earnings' - so every individual out of work for any reason must have reparations and affirmative action and so forth?

In return - are they handing back all the benefits generational of living the White Man's way?

Put it to a referendum of a fully informed people.....

Sorry - the people were never asked....... go do it now and await the result....

I have no idea what you are talking about. Post them.

Same as every other such grant by an unelected body of public servants...... all tarred with the same brush... no dissidents allowed.

The general populace are excluded from any discussion or share in 'stakeholding' despite the fact that National Parks are for all.

When did you ever see an open invitation for any with an interest to put their side of the question?  where were the ads on TV, in the papers, or anywhere else?  Where was the coverage in the TV news of the call for comments and viewpoints from the entire community?

Sorry - this is not binding on those excluded.  If Parrot's Tits wants to divide the country into two groups by race, he takes the consequences.

How Dare They??  Nobody is stopping the Abos from using National Parks... why should anyone else be stopped from using them?

Native title was not ownership of a swathe of land simply claimed as freehold..... it was squatter's rights with a proven connection to that land and continuous residence/occupation.  You cannot have continuous occupation of a vast swathe of land by occasionally having a few of your group wander over part of it, same as every bushwalker cannot claim continuous occupation of that National Park land.  There is no basis for this kind of handover.  They are free to use it - and so is everyone else, as a National Park.

Even Eddie Mabo, though forbidden to go to his land, had family connected there, and there was no conflict of ownership, unlike Mt Warning.

National Parks are not available for freehold.... always was national land.... always will be.  This is nothing but a bunch of politicians and unelected public servants pushing on the people they are supposed to be working for some total change to suit a small minority.

Ne Passerons!

Throw out these governments, clear out the public service, and start again.

The answer is NO!  This is NOT the law - it is the steady erosion of that law and the gradual creep of interpretation by unelected public servants with an interest and without proper oversight and accountability to ALL stakeholders.

This is the inevitable outcome from a single stupid and half-baked decision by one court... and it must be set to rights by legislation that guarantees genuinely equal rights.  There is no longer any privilege of anyone here claiming all the land they can see just because they can see it.... those days vanished in 1788.

If the LNP does this - and Labor is the alternative government.... any thinking person must move to the extreme parties.

Both LNP and Labor have shown us repeatedly that they are the greatest dangers to democracy and to genuinely equal rights for all.

No corporate and generational responsibility.  That's the end of it.  Your children and grandchildren should not bear the burden of the past..... National Parks are theirs as well ..............

That Rubicon is crossed.....

"Yea, though I walk through the shadow over the valleys of the National Parks, I will fear no evil, for my civil and legal rights are with me, my equality and citizenship they comfort me, and surely goodness and fair play will follow me all the days of my life........"

I see the usual mob are still crying. 

Crappler has become quite an expert at playing the old white male victim

They were made required by fiat due to the march of history.

You will have to live with the fact you have lived into the age of reparations.

No Australian politician now or in the foreseeable future has a future in politics if they try a latter-day Knut stunt on this matter. If they survive at all, they will be at best an eccentric oddity.
