Not really. I have no hidden agenda nor preconceptions of aboriginal people/culture, being a 'pommie wanker' who arrived on these shores only 5 years ago. My cynicism simply stems from my experiences from far too many years in the insurance industry!
I'm sure you'll agree that I wasn't suggesting that artwork etc should not be protected. I was only saying that in my view an awful lot is taken on trust which can lead to access being restricted to others at the mere suggestion of some aboriginal significance.
