I thought the Blacks only 'own' and have connection to the 'Land'?
Soon they'll be claiming rights to the skies, after the oceans.
Nah - they have 'traditional rights' in the land.... meaning they can wander around on public land, camp out in national parks, light a fire when it's allowed, cook a roo, hold a ceremony, catch the fish limit out of season (but they still must put back the female flathead) ...... pretty much what everyone can do other than the roo and the very few fish ... which they probably replace with Wharte Man's steaks and snags now anyway...
Nothing special about 'traditional ownership' of the land in reality - and no right to veto as Albo promised even with a 'voice'.... no right to lock anything up unless they are given freehold over it, which native title is not.... now you see the lies you are being fed and the wool pulled over your eyes...
One of the demands of the 'voice' was control over land and water and resources - i.e the very staples of life for everyone and a clear grab for royalties or 'rent' ... that is why the voice failed primarily.... and all this secret Voice will fail again... Tassie headline said that the LNP were in deep trouble down there with an election looming, but Labor was actually worse off... now why would that be?
Poor Fellow - My Country - with a choice like that...
They don't have any spiritual connection to the sea and waters, only the 'land'.
They were 'imprisoned' by the seas - afraid to traverse them for fear of 'Whities' eating them like seals. At most, the had 10 canoes to traverse sedate waterways. Even the Papuans did the travelling across the Torres Strait to trade with the Mobsters up there. They traded, but refused to adopt any 'agricultural' advancements that the Papuans offered (long before the Middle-East learned to farm).
So its pretty obvious that the Abo way of life was more 'land' than anything else: more than water, sky, military, politics, art, sport, medicine and all the rest.
Just - the Land.
...but now their 'traditional culture' includes money, new cars, houses and political rights.
