TO, Native title is the weakest form of land tenure in this nation.
Why then should an expensive protracted native title process be the precondition to recognition of say; joint management rights? Pastoral access rights? Cultural heritage rights?

Try living under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, ATSIcratics pushed for as much as possible from here copied into the Native Title Act. Few these proponents lived under the Act...

Can you confirm xxx Council has obtained leases from yyy Land Trust for the houses at zzz ?

We understand until such time as xxx Council obtains such leases from the yyy Land Trust then all buildings constructed upon yyy Land Trust land are property of the yyy Land Trust.

The xyz Land Council and or yyy Land Trust continue to refuse to provide bbb a lease - even in draft form, for her home.

The xxx Land Council and or yyy Land Trust whilst acknowledging zzz, our children, and our grandchildren are "Traditional Owners" have done and for a very long time continue to deny them their otherwise held rights to have their family live with them and or visit them in their home.

Land Council is not keen to issue people with leases, as leases gives them some rights !

BTW perhaps agree with Ranier that Native title is a weaker form of land tenure in this nation, which is why tried to have it negotiated and converted to freehold. No state or territory government worth half what they get paid should want to sign away land to inalienable unrateable land for everafter, seeking inalienable titles such as under the ALR(NT) has just alienated a lot of people who otherwise would support handing over land titles.

Every step taken built upon seperate racial rights is a backward step, our future is as part of the wider nation not some third world zoo.

"Every step taken built upon seperate racial rights is a backward step"

Well the current land rights in separate and majority white hands must mean we are the most backward country going.

Oh, I forgot, white isn't a race is it, its just 'normal' ,,,sorry.

Poor discombulated Rainier, he is confusing Australia's Native title with apartheid South Africa's "Bantustans".

What's your solution, Rainier? The ethnic cleansing of all Australians of European descent?

He just confusing obtaining compensation for people who suffered from the process of racial discrimination to obtaining a continuation of racial discrimination with only a change to flavoring so is closer to where tastes better by his senses.

ANY qualification by race is racial discrimination, often labelled positive.

Many injuries for which racial discrimination compensation claimed are or were justified originally as "positive discriminations".

Each make decisions whether will participate in the racial flavors discrimination game, or we not play it at all
