There is certainly no shortage of land for a nomadic existence if that is what they aspire to.

Chas,

There is no way the Abos are going back to hunting and gathering. The closest they get to that these days is hanging out at the Todd river in Alice Springs and gathering cans of piss from the nearest bottle shop.

The isolated communities are rife with social problems of the worst kind and there ain't no White man out there to blame it one.

As far as sharing in the spoils of the 21 st century they have received so much welfare it would last them to the 30th century if not all hovered up sniffing petrol and drinking casts of wine.

As far as leaving it up to the Elders to distribute.

Fooking hell Eh, ya gota laugh at that one.
