AC: We have read, and I saw something in the paper that I'll ask you about later. ... these classified ads in the local paper that say 'this is an official claim to cancel any native rights on a particular area of land. ' Like govt notices in the paper.

And to fight, to achieve justice for ourselves. To achieve recognition, to achieve respect, and everything else that goes with it. This has been a long term struggle for the indigenous people. I'll narrow this down to the territory because I come from the northern territory environment, and the people that I represent is the people from the northern territory, particularly the indigenous people. Before we ever started talking to the govt, trying to negotiate how things should stand, and what they should accept and what they shouldn't accept, theres a freedom of dialogue between people, particularly govt . Govt feels in aust that abo People are hot a special people, that we should not be treated any more special than anybody else out in the street. We reject that. And since we rejected that, the policy that has been laid down back in the 40s 50s that we should be assimilated into the mainstream ... AC: could I ask you to hold on a sec? Is that a ...
