ABC Alice Springs Radio Breakfast August 8 2019 (79 days till madness takes its toll). I spoke with ABC's Stewart Brash this morning about the Human Rights Commission's decision to terminate my complaint of Racial Discrimination against the Park Board and the Director of Parks Australia. The termination is based on the HRC's view that conciliation with the Board is not possible and as the ban and removal of cultural objects have not yet occurred discrimination is not possible You can read the full HRC letter HERE .

The first is from David Hewitt who comments that in a recent trip and in his past experience traditional people have indicated it was ok to Climb.

Our mountains belong to all of us. The Right to Climb them and bask in their views that inspire awe and wonder is as old as the human genome. This long-established cultural tradition is under threat by a small group of bureaucrats determined to impose their way on the rest of the world. It is right to Climb because we have the Right to climb. If you don’t exercise your rights you lose them. Don't let petty nanny state bureaucrats take them away.
