...We never lost it to anybody...
Galarrwuy Yunupingu, Chair of the Northern Land Council:
'These people haven't lost this land, they are now recognised under Balanda law. That's all it is - a recognition. In our own law it has been recognised for thousands of years and that law remains. We never lost it to anybody. It is our rights of ownership to land.'
