Ok, LAW 101. All Australians are under the same law. If the " indigenous mob " decide to vote to stop climbing, the National Parks are obliged to , by law , to police that decision. The decision was made by a board of Parks and indigenous people.

Uluru climbs banned from October 2019 after unanimous board decision to 'close the playground' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

How would the ban be enforced?

How would a ban be enforced?

• Under Commonwealth laws, there are steep fines for people who ride or walk in a Commonwealth reserve and go off track
• The management board could have all walking tracks on the rock removed, making any climb illegal
• In practical terms, a chain currently in place could be removed, which would make climbing Uluru physically difficult
• Under NT legislation, sacred sites including Uluru have special protections, and a serious breach of the Sacred Sites Act can lead to penalties of more than $60,000 and two years'

fair enough.

Trying to strike a balance between making money, and respecting culture. Dare I say it, almost a mature approach.

Closing Uluru to climbers is better for tourism in the long run

I was there a few years ago and they said it was too windy to climb. It was dead still. This was their way of stopping people while not saying you can't climb.

Hello to my "Mr. Protagonist",....nothing to do with a "mature approach",.....more to do with a "personal opinion", which, whilst it may be different, is one to which we are all entitled.

Quite happy to discuss Bob,..Do you understand that one person's (your) "mature approach" can be quite different to somebody elses (mine) "personal opinion"?''.....which can be just as "mature", and "personal" as yours.
If you don't comprehend my question/comment, simply ignore it, & don't bother to respond.
I'm sure there are more pressing matters in the World today, but if you do wish to discuss, surely you realize that, in your words, and what YOU consider a personal approach, which is your "Personal Opinion", & to which absolutely you are entitled, can be be completely different to someone elses, equally felt, "Personal Opinion", which is theirs, and to which THEY are also equally absolutely entitled, just as you are.

For the first time ever, I have sent a message to the mods. You have lost the plot, mate. That post had nothing to do with you.
