‘The Minister is playing a dangerous political game and putting at risk nearly forty years of struggle to have land returned to its traditional landowners, without stating what the real problems are or offering any detailed alternatives. It is simply not good enough to just spout rhetoric on complex issues or to pretend that traditional owners are leaving their land because they have land rights. Blaming tenure is easy, but you only have to look at Tennant Creek, Kalkarindji or Finke to see that remote towns situated on NT freehold title are not faring any better than communities on Aboriginal land. - CLC Director, David Ross.
