Land buys failing to help Aborigines
The land of plenty has plenty for the few.
The federal body set up to acquire land for dispossessed Aborigines has bought 36 NSW properties for more than $32 million, but fewer than 200 indigenous people have directly benefited, according to a review released at the weekend.
The Indigenous Land Corporation, or ILC, spent more money in NSW than any state or territory other than Western Australia, but the properties, totalling almost 170,000 hectares, had directly benefited only 78 Aboriginal occupants and 97 indigenous employees, the review found.

OK. The people of each Aboriginal nation held land in common - like a European state or like the English commons - but not individually - except for wives.
