		Justice Toohey said Queenslanders were constantly warned that Aborigines should not be prevented from subsisting on the pastoral leasehold lands.
		Aborigines released a 22-page response to the Wik decision just prior to the release of the Government's 10-point plan, calling for the negotiation of co-existence agreements and rejecting any upgrading of pastoral leases because they say this would block and extinguish native title.
		However Aborigines say the money is already theirs and that to use it for compensation for the extinguishment of native title would be "funding their own disposession".

		A comment from a flag expert led me to remove the Federation Star as being too “busy”, and to move the Southern Cross to the position of honour at the upper left of the flag.
