Every group had a body of elders who governed their community. 'Public government'.

' Every Iyura-eora that ever walked our Ngurrah (country of each clan) paid respects to his nieghbour and nearest nations. To enter another clans Nura beranga (Country of belonging) clans would have sent a message about the time (season) and instructions as to the purpose of Yanma-muru-wa.'
Why don't you put a link to your copy and paste bullshyte?
Of the 250 languages including 800 dialects pre-1788 there are approximately 150 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages still spoken in Australia, with only 14 languages considered strong.
That the tribal groups were spread over vast areas unless in close proximity & in the same language group /dialect ...
then they could not understand one another.
And it's BS to suggest otherwise.
A familiarity of words will have come from trying to re-establish lost languages and the words have been borrowed.
