♦ There are three competing corporations that claim to represent the Yindjibarndi – Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (YAC), Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation (YNAC) and Wirlu Murra Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (WMYAC).
In the mining industry (and probably every other sector), Aboriginal heritage is no longer about the protection of Aboriginal heritage.
Whatever good former Treasurer and PM Paul Keating might have accomplished is overshadowed by his disastrous decision to enact Mabo into Australian law and establish the Native Title Tribunal.
As The Australian also notes, some 85% of WA is subject to either a native title claim or already subject to Federal Court determinations that recognizes the existence of native title rights and interests.
It should be a no-brainer that native title should have no more rights than other forms of title.
