Yep. They can knock on your door any time & say 'this is our land, sod off we want it back'. Means you'll have to move out without question & without any compensation. You will also have to get their permission to go to your local park, beach etc. It's their land after all.

Shouldn't Perth be given to the Poms, after all I'm sure there are more Poms than aboriginals in Perth.

This whole Aboriginal thing makes me die - the loose thinking !

The bleeding hearts would have us believe that the Aboriginals were here first so they should be given back bits of Australia. They are dead right - th A's WERE here first so logically, given that argument, they shouldbe handed back the whole b****y island and the rst of us should get the hell out of Dodge.

And the Indians should be given back Manhattan and the other bits of the US, the Portuguese the Spanish and the rest must leave, and so on and so forth.

What has happened has happened. I would be the last to defend the way that Aboriginals were treated as vermin but that's another question.

What about Birmingham and Leicester being given back to the English.

Perhaps London folk could return Cornwall, Devon and Dorset to all the locals that they have displaced?

Perhaps Trelawney's 20000 strong army could be shown the way home.
Last time they were let out they took a wrong turning and ended up as 10 pound Poms working in the Ballarat goldmines
