Queensland is returning 20,000 square km of land to aboriginal traditional owners.

Europeans took the land of Australia from the aboriginal peoples, and it is right to give some of it back.

However, I do not approve of the aboriginal culture's idea that major aspects of that culture, its laws in effect, should be the property of small groups. Secret law is not law. It does far more harm in Obama's hands, or the Australian government's hands, than in the aboriginal people's hands, because the latter have comparatively little power. It is wrong in principle nonetheless.
