Media release

Goodooga (NSW) Michael Anderson, leader of the Euahlayi Nation and spokesperson for the Gumilaroi Nation, has accused Australian governments of
'not having the intestinal fortitude to stand against the multi-nationals who seek to destroy Aboriginal culture'.

He was commenting on the destruction of ancient Aboriginal rock art by
industry in the Burrup Peninsula (or Murrijuga by its Indigenous name).

shame, Mr. Beattie SHAME!

when a person is beaten until his liver is split and his ribs broken…
and no help is offered…
and he lays down, his cries for help are ignored, and he dies… in a prison cell, away from those he loves;
whilst he has officers of justice
"responsible" for his CARE and wellbeing in attendance;
and i think about the pain he needlessly suffered.

It becomes stark and clear that SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

Basically, it means Indigenous traditional owners would be paid rent for their land for 99 year leases.
