✅ Disturbing revelations about suburban Native Title claims
⚠️ Reports emerging of Native Title & Aboriginal Land Act (ALA) claims over suburban Brisbane sites — including:
🏏 Sports clubs
📚 Libraries
🏕️ Scout & Guide halls
🤝 Community & charity facilities
💰 Federal funding supports claimants — but no funding for councils or local communities to respond or test claims.
⚖️ Under Queensland’s ALA, councils are the only body allowed to represent communities, yet they’re given no resources to do so.
🏡 Once granted, land is transferred to private Aboriginal corporations, which then own and control it outright — even when it includes public facilities.
📍 The Toobeah case shows what happens — town land, parks, and creek access gifted away without public knowledge or consent.
🔍 No transparent testing of claims — instead, dodgy anthropology, selective evidence, and claims of “community consent” that residents have never given.
🗣️ This is not about opposing Native Title — it’s about demanding transparency, consultation, and community consent before any handover of public land.
