- ‘The Country Needs Its People – People Need Their Country' 10 June 2005
Here in the NT, particularly in central Australia , Aboriginal people are the major landowners and hold title to 51% of the CLC region.

The path to a sustainable livelihood for Aboriginal people on their own country is by no means a clear one and I do not pretend to have all the answers to the many challenges involved. It will not happen overnight and there is no room for a 'cut and run' approach. However, it is beyond doubt that the country still needs its people as much as the people need their country.
