I guess I don't have a lot of knowledge either but
1. those areas are pretty out of the way - its' not like its an inconvenience 
in daily life for the majority of people
2. you would ask for permission or to be invited on to somebody's property and 
I think its analogous that that
3. I think it's a way of keeping grog sellers and other 'undesirables' <g> out, 
or at least giving the communities away to tell them to go away.

I'm happy to keep this thread going but - unless the rest of the list is 
interested in the politics of race relations in Australia - maybe e-mail me off 
list?

I don't disagree with what you say, and I really don't profess to have much
knowledge on the subject.

I just wonder sometimes about how we handle the issues involved with the
ATSI population. For example I don't agree with how previous governments set
aside huge areas of remote Australia to be "Aboriginal areas", which we need
a permit to enter.
