I can't help but wonder if white people would demand the right to climb Uluru if it belonged to other white people and it was other white people prohibiting the climb. Do they even know Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park is private land leased to the government?
The people who insist on the right to climb the rock do so saying it "belongs to everybody". They can only say that because they don't think Aboriginal people have the right to own land. In other words demanding the right to climb the rock is just racism.
Also, if a white organisation took the govt to court demanding stolen land back and won there would be no way they would be forced to lease the land to the Government for 99 years in the settlement. That's what happened with Uluru though.
When the Pitjantjatjara people leased the land to the government they were promised the climb would be closed. That promise was broken.
Think on that... in 1985 they were promised the climb would be closed. They have waited for 34 years for the government to keep that promise
