NSWALC says Aboriginal land rights are under attack… but the harder question is whether the current system is actually delivering for the 90% of First Nations people in NSW who have no seat at the table.

The NSW Aboriginal Land Council dropped a statement this week with all the urgency of a five-alarm fire. The Minns Labor Government, it said, had introduced the Crown Lands Management Amendment (Statutory Review) Bill 2026 “by stealth” – an attack on more than 40 years of land rights.

The language was dramatic. “Without consultation or notice.” “An attack by stealth.” “Hollow out our rights.” The call to action was swift: contact your MP, stay informed, stand together.

But before we all grab the pitchforks, it is worth asking a different question.

Who, exactly, is this system working for right now?

I have a question. What does it mean to be Japanese? A nation. Is it language? Territory? Blood lines?

No! That’s not it. It’s in the heart.

Then we’re in agreement. A feeling within. A belonging. Dignity. Pride. The culture is carried in the heart. You’re Japanese no matter where you are.
