    This sets a bad precedent for all. This land was here long before humans. No group should have exclusive rights to it.

      And yet the Australian government has had exclusive right to it for the past 100 years.

      This sets a precedent of sharing the land with different groups and ways of living.

        The Australian people have had access to it. Property is theft.

            So we all go back to the country our ancestors were in 500 years ago? Tear down all the cities and towns? Rip up the roads? Unfortunately I don’t think we can undo colonialism

              We cannot undo it, but we can start to fix it and work on a more equal way of living which is exactly what is being done here.
