ABORIGINAL ELDERS MAY BAN CLIMBING OF ULURU
A recent news story caught my eye following the post I made last month regarding the climbing of Uluru - 'Battered and Bruised Uluru'.
"Mutitjulu, a community which has long-standing problems, is the first to be targeted following an inquiry into sexual abuse of indigenous children. The government last week ordered compulsory medical checks for indigenous children, a ban on alcohol and pornography and restrictions on welfare payments, following a report that said sexual abuse of children was rampant in communities in the Northern Territory...The traditional owners of Mutitjulu and Uluru were considering a civil disobedience campaign that would include a ban on climbing the rock."
