Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

It makes perfect sense to employ the people and the culture that managed this vast continent and its ecosystems for 10s of thousands of years presenting a country so rich and beautiful the British were only too happy to steal and kill and abuse the inhabitants that had managed to so wonderfully. In just over 200 years white European cultural practices have managed to destroy much of the environment that was here. I know its not fair to say "well we've wrecked it so here have it back and see what you can do" but its certainly a step in the right direction to not only to help the environment but give back a people their land and recognise their culture and reinstate their dignity.
