So the wealthy, developed nations realise the widespread granting of native title will restrict or put conditions on future mining exploration, forestry activity and development of land parcels in general.

It is so sad, a major issue like this, being lost in a universe of western hedonistic, thrill-seeking and aggressive imagery. I recently watched the film Kanyini in which Aboriginal singer and activist Bob Randall explained the principle of connectedness, and gave insight into the cultural genocide inflicted on his people by the nation state. It would be lovely to think that even yet people would stand back from their selfish and angry lives, and connect. But how silly to daydream like this, what a feeble affront to reality.
