Only if responsibility and accountability goes with it. As well no one
should be disadvantaged because of it. If a family farm is the subject of a
land claim, then as far as I am concerned, it is the farmers land until he
is prepared to part with it.

On the other hand I have seen many the case where the Australian government
have bought land from farmers, (usually at an inflated price) and given it
to the Aborigines. The government then is committed or should I say the Tax
payer into supporting that farm for ever more. Does anyone see the
government offering the same support to white farmers?
