Ayers Rock: closing the climb : Comments

By John Perkins, published 24/10/2019

The climb should not be banned. To pretend that their myths are true, does not benefit the Anangu. It divorces them from reality.

I have climbed Mother, South Daughter & Vulcan, all Rabaul volcanoes, with spectacular views.

I have never been able to see the attraction of climbing a bare rock in the middle of no where, with nothing views.

They can keep it.

SR,

Generosity of spirit? Duty of care? What bollocks, if these "caring" elders really gave a crap they would divert some of the $ they are getting royalties to installing safety equipment, watering points etc instead of just showing their racism by banning non aboriginals.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You really have become a caricature haven't you.

So because a quite disadvantaged community wasn't prepared to hand back some of the around $1,000 per head per annum the were receiving as their share of the gate receipts to allow visitors to doing something they themselves weren't engaging in then they were being racist?

What a miserable take on this.

Get a life.

SR,

Not as miserable as those niggardly blocking access to an Australian icon or those agreeing with them.
