How Do You Put A Price On The Land Taken Away From Indigenous Australians?
A small piece of land in outback Australia could prove the key to unlocking hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for the land that was taken from Aboriginal traditional owners.Timber Creek is a remote town of about 230 people in the Northern Territory, a stop on the road on the 500km journey from Katherine to Kununurra. Much of the town and its surrounding land is owned by the Ngaliwurru and Nungali Peoples.
These acts extinguished the native title rights of the traditional owners, who subsequently filed a lawsuit seeking compensation in the Federal Court. "[We thought] we’ll give it a shot whether we win or lose, sort of thing," she said."And showing a good example. We’re not going to sit back and let anyone ruin our country."
“I really deeply wish that they were still around to see this outcome," Jones said."I wish they were here with us today to celebrate, the good news or the bad news.” "This is worth hundreds of millions, or billions," Terrill said."No-one actually knows how much [land this will affect]. No-one has crunched the numbers to know how much we’re talking about here."
