摘要: In August 2006, the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Bill 2006 (Cwlth) was passed into law, introducing, among other things, a system of 99-year leases over Indigenous townships. The leasing scheme will diminish control that traditional owners previously exercised their lands. This is at odds with research indicating land positive influence on health.
