And don't forget Victoria, where the Grampions & Mount Arapiles are atttracting the same "attention"!
Pickles.

The other side of this story.

I notice the Anungu only get 25% of the gate price, and government in fighting means much of it isn't being spent on their needs for housing because of a fight over who pays for power and water.

Shirley some bright sparks would have considered all that?

Yeah, right.

But look at all the crap around the Community Centre. 10 minutes with a few taking part could have that joint tidied up even for the camera.

Has no-one any pride in the place & their surroundings??

It certainly doesn't instill confidence on what will happen in the future. I've noticed the same lack of pride in footage of the settlements as well, bloody old cars & crap etc lying around the places..

Don't give me any of the olde "it is their way of Life & we can't change that" bollocks. Maybe the " now unemployed" Rangers could set an example? The world (UN) criticises Australia for not taking care of these people, so where does all the money go, Admin, fat salaries to CEOs etc etc?

So the residents are being exploited because the suits can't sort that out? Some hope for the rest of us eh?
