Land Restitution in Australia?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Land Restitution in Australia?

Aus parks may be restricted

Canberra – Australia’s attorney general warned on Friday that access to some beaches and public parks could be restricted after a court granted a group of Aborigines special land rights to parts of a major city for the first time.

Aboriginal leaders derided the idea, saying their rights under Australia’s native title laws were very limited and that the few claims that were successful were more about recognition of their traditional rights than moving homeowners out.

“No one’s going to lose their backyard,” said Wesley Aird, an Aboriginal leader whose native title claim over part of the tourist draw card Gold Coast received a boost from Tuesday’s ruling.

“It’s business as usual, native title isn’t as scary as people may have thought,” Aird told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Traditional owners of Perth area

A federal court judge ruled on Tuesday that the Noongar people were the traditional owners of a 6 000 square kilometre area of Western Australia state that includes the state capital, Perth, a city of 1.7 million.

Judge Murray Wilcox ruled that the Noongar had, against the odds, maintained their culture and customs since European settlement in 1829 and had native title over the land.

The ruling means Noongar people can now exercise rights, such as hunting and fishing, over land where native title has not been extinguished by subsequent owners.

Shock ruling

The ruling came as shock to most observers since previous claims have failed over metropolitan areas because under Australian law, freehold and leasehold title – which covers homes and most government-held land – extinguishes whatever native title had previously existed.

Attorney General Phillip Ruddock said the Perth ruling could bolster native title claims under way over the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. If successful, the native title holders might be able to claim exclusive use to land if officials hadn’t dedicated it for another purpose, he said.

“Not all those steps have always been taken in relation to areas of open space which people regard as parks” and foreshore, Ruddock told ABC radio.

“It’s quite possible that there are areas in and around our capital cities where that would have occurred.”

Appeal

Western Australia’s government has said it will appeal the Perth ruling.

State and federal officials said they believed too much disruption had occurred to Noongar society for it to have survived in any meaningful way, and therefore native rights had been extinguished.
