About Section 18 again.
[www.theguardian.com]
"Iron ore boss reportedly told a staff meeting that the company was apologising for the distress caused, not the destruction"

A bigger question is why The Guardian (along with ABC and other copycat media) refuse to "tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth"?

When are the cultural heritage advocates of dreamtime law passed down from the men's camps going to apologize for the thousands of years
of brutality-caused stress in the slave-labor women's camps?
Since Maat is family oriented and this may not be suitable for all family members I won't post a direct link to the very factual
YouTube video called "10 Canoes" by Tanya Mueller. Those who don't want to suffer through the science of Binford, Hamilton, Morse, etc.,
an explanation of this law starts at about 11:20 in of 1:27:50. However, I would suggest the entire video be watched (twice).

If we could go back into dreamtime to about 5000 years ago in Australia and see that field in the video @29:46/1:27:50, here
are some of the women I see:
Kath Walker
Cathy Freeman
Jacina Koolmatrie
Linda Burney
and I don't see over 100 Indigenous Tertiary scholarships that include women in that field. All forgotten in the men's camp of oral tradition
of today thanks to The Guardian. Those women have a vote today (but didn't ca.5000 to 150 years ago) because: "In 1788, Australia emerged from a stone age society of hunters and gatherers into the era of the Industrial Revolution."---D. J. Mulvaney (1961)

If any part of Section 18 is modified, a couple of things will happen. First, the pseudoscience of men's oral tradition (read cultural heritage,
dreamtime law, beliefs, or whatever you want to call it) will be injected into the debate. They then can then argue all sites are ritual and
everything they say is true (even though it has been proven they have rather bad memories), so the entire land has ritual/cultural significance, therefore no site can be touched (Yankee go home seems to be the logic IMO).
Secondly it was the steel of the industrial revolution that Kath Walker used to save Clinton Walker from the Axis death camps. IOW, while the original owners like Clinton Walker's ancestors were certainly there first, they are completely dependent on steel now for their safety, like it or not. Yes, I know, it's sort of like
Al Capone extracting tribute for protection. The price is steel/minerals for that protection over the loss of a few woman's camps. You can't defeat
the Axis or the Taliban by throwing boomerangs at them.

One more thing...Linda Burney does have a vote on the Section 18 issue, no thanks to dreamtime laws and saving rock shelters with holes in the roof.
