Griffith LALC recently secured Aboriginal cultural water rights/entitlements to rehabilitate Nericon wetlands and Wetlands on the former Tirkandi Inaburra and its contained eco systems. All of a sudden the nice Helen Dalton - states that the Government should not support Black Fulla water/Aboriginal Cultural Water and she does not want the Federal Government to support Race Based Laws in which we have interpreted to include Native Title Rights (Native Title Act 1993 & Land Rights Act 1983) The Question is why do many non-Aboriginal people continue to deny Aboriginal existence and caring for our own Country - the real hidden agenda is to only to promote non-Aboriginal Australians with benefits of our country's great wealth and to deny that of Aboriginal peoples sovereign rights that was never ceded. Helen repeated statements that there is no place for racism however her parliamentary presentation if predominantly seeks to deny our Aboriginal rights within our own Country.
