baby, what's in that satchel?

i'm not exactly into aussie politics, neither am i an expert on aboriginal affairs. so will somebody please explain just what this is all about? spit on my shoes and call me ignorant, but just how will a successful native title claim be a "fantastic opportunity for the state to open a new page in its relationship with the Noongar people" ?? i have no idea what the real implications are either. but it doesn't sound good to me at all. what happens with the local councils and everything? and just what do the noongar plan to do with western australia once they get it?

what good is it if you own the whole of western australia, when there are more serious problems to deal with in your own community especially in the rural areas?

according to this article the legal claim has been going on for three years. we've been here six and there's been nothing in the papers at all. and the results come out tomorrow? nothing in the west australian about it, and if i hadn't read the australian online today i wouldn't even have known! anyway mum doesn't reckon they'll win and i seriously hope not. i don't fancy being evicted from my home just because some abo from halls creek decides to make it his villa urbana.
