Seems that the indigenous people of Australia ( A particular Tribe) are looking to claim a large proportion of Melbourne as native title so they can make sure the region is looked after correctly. The Waterways, native lands etc..Is this ok and do you think that it affect people that live there or businesses as such. I'm ok for areas of Australia being looked after but not sure if this will help or not.  An excerpt from the News Article:

The Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people in Victoria have filed a native title claim with the Federal Court, seeking recognition over country that spans much of Melbourne.

Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung elder Perry Wandin said the claim was part of an intergenerational pursuit for his people's connection to their land to be recognised.

"Wurundjeri people have fought for decades for recognition and respect and have been at the forefront of protecting culture and country in Melbourne and surrounds," Elder Perry Wandin said.

"We want the waterways, the land to be looked after."

The Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung claim area covers most of metropolitan Melbourne, beyond the Great Dividing Range, west to the Werribee River, east to Mount Baw Baw, and south to Mordialloc Creek.

  • and we are paying for the legal action through our tax dollars I gather FFS.....baseless from a bunch of people whos aboriginality is marginal at best ....................I want my hard earned taxes spent on more important and needed ways....how about homelessness and Nurses .......

    Honestly the Australian Indigenous population is the most over represented and financially supported minority in the world (sorry but thats the truth).....yet we still get legal cases like this.......its not helping them and its not helping us .....devisive and making lawyers rich in the end.

    • Do you think if it goes through and approved it will have any impact on people who live in this region and businesses if they currently live on Indigenous Land 

      • Couldn't give a rats. Best thing about Melbourne is the Hume Hyw coming out of it

    • Correct Parra Greg, its all shite; and lets be honest we are run by a bunch of left wing do gooders, who are fecking the country over.....again and again.

      How many countries would let this shit occur? Australia.....we are dumb and dumb.

  • What stinks about all this is indigenous groups can lay claim to unused crown land.

    National and state forests are  up for grabs .

    The moment it's deemed aboriginal land it becomes freehold.

    All those old growth forests full of coal and gas and all sorts of minerals  that otherwise can never be mined are all of a sudden up for grabs  if indigenous groups are happy to take the coin.

    That might give you an idea why the governments are so eager to hand it over. 
    The globalist funded UN and their  proxy's actively pushing these laws around the globe while citizens are locked out of parts of their  country.

    Who funds the UN and why are they so interested in greenland and indigenous lands around the globe and you'll find your answer.

    Those same arsewipes are the ones pushing the bullshit climate change narrative.
    Imagine if land over the great artesian basin is handed over.

    Its utter bullshit.

  • Culture war bullshit to distract us from the multinationals stealing our gas reserves. Wake up.
