“The government in the Northern Territory has departed from that principle by granting Aboriginals mineral rights without having to discover them — and in the process they have given away the rights to about two-thirds of the Northern Territory. This is the most ridiculous thing you could ever think of. The Aborigines have no obligation to find the ore. This puts them in a privileged position. Aboriginals should have exactly the same rights as any other citizens of Australia — they should not have exclusive rights … you can’t live off a sacred site.”
