Funny that. Amazing what a lobby group can do.

Pity...it was quite an attraction to going there in the first place😐

But heck, it sure was something from a distance, right?? Next time, head for Mt Augustus in WA. Nobody has claimed that. Yet. And it's bigger, only not so red.

Sure doesn't have the High Rise and the surf.. But it has a pull the Gold Coast can never match. Funny, didn't the "traditional owners" also own the Gold Coast? Surely they did.

Isn't that a matter of YOUR opinion? What evidence do you have that your opinion is correct? Could it be none? Opinion is just that.

People often do that on the Opera House, often to the cheering of the far left. Does that make their opinion more valuable than mine? I often pee on my garden. Is my garden any less property of these Traditional Owners than the Rock? If so, how?

Here is a challenge. All those who believe that the 'Traditional Owners' have some claim to this country can give up their house, or Body Corporate, or freehold, or whatever to those Traditional Owners, in some kind of ceremony, and I'll match you.

How about it? Is your little piece of Australia stolen? Do you owe your block to somebody else?

This country belongs to us ALL. If you believe otherwise put your money where your mouth is.... Damn, there should really be a 'crickets' emoji on this site, 'cos that's what's needed. Not one of you would give up your little piece, but you pontificate about us all giving up everything. Well, I won't. Everything changes, and it always will. I'm as Australian as Justin, and , what can I say, he told me to call him an Abo, and everyone will jump on me for doing so, but he was fine with it, I'm as Australian as he is, and I'm older. When are people going to stop being led by the nose by busybody nobodies?? Has everyone lost their individuality? Justin sure hasn't, though I don't see him so much these days.

Mick, if you seriously believe that the rock is a cathedral, I suggest you get out and live with the people you are simplistically championing. They have no concept of cathedral. They don't care about what you think is important. And, most importantly, the people you think are important no longer exist. There are no tribes any more. There sure are no traditional tribes anywhere near the rock. Like it or not, those days have been over for nearly 100 years. If you want to turn back the clock, start with your place.

Not at all. Your trolling is not going to work.

Sacred depends on your belief system. Mine suggests that Ayers Rock is just that, a rock. Yours seems to suggest otherwise. Is yours more important than mine?

My comment Gawd, is nothing sacred? is meant to be 'Tongue in Cheek', JT.
This just goes to show how easily comments can be misconstrued.
