    Yilyanga,
    I have no problem with your position and I accept any loss as part of the gamble, but I do have a problem with the position of the traditional owners, this may seem totally unrelated but the aboriginal family that live next door to me in rural W.A. don't do anything to 'earn' respect for themselves or their culture, I know they were not the cause of their situation but they do absolutely nothing to improve peoples perception of it, after the mother was killed by a beer bottle being smashed over her head at a drunken gathering, followed a few years later by her son killing a 18 year old white kid with a lump of 4x4 because he wasn't allowed into a party, followed by the next son's suicide and eventually the third son brutally bashing an 80 year old pensioner, I struggle with the aboriginal position same as you have trouble with the mining company position the only difference is the community and social services continually give my neighbours support and help and lots of money where maybe if the Groote Islanders made a reasonable deal with mining companies and took up the chance of employment and spent some of the royalties on improving themselves and peoples lack of awareness of their culture things would eventually improve and they could again claim the respect they say is denied them, don't deny they have problems last night's 7.30 in Katherine gave a pretty vivid picture of the aboriginal situation in that part of the world.
    p.s. I too used to campaign socially on behalf of indigenous peoples of the world, call me jaded but not racist, I find it much harder to speak in their defence anymore.
    Cheers Buzbarker
