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.

I don't mean to be rude Pou, but that whole comment is hot garbage..anyone from a low socioeconomic background is not suffering the effects of persecution on a whole population. In Australia, only Aboriginals have claim to that
We can walk and chew gum at the same time
People from low socioeconomic background are a whole population. Thats how class works. A good Marxist like you should know that.
They are a cohort...yeah and a population. I misspoke. I should have called them a people, Those who Wik and Mabo proved had a valid claim form their own class. The bottom class. They were told they were not people Terra Nullis was proven false by our highest courts and those affected by it (ie Aboriginals) are due whatever reparations the law sees fit to offer
Does that help?
Lower classes only get reparations by revolution
But it didn't happen over Millennia Frank, it was only 200 odd yrs ago.
Many countries offer reparations and concessions to Indiginous peoples.
This Melb thing seems fucking stupid but Mabo and Wik decidions are well reasoned,justified law here in our fine country, signed by court and both sides of politics
You can't change history!
