From the article on the Conservatives website that he linked:
“And the fact that past traditional owners had no problem climbing the rock, even acting as tour guides sometimes, indicated there was nothing particularly sacred about the climbing route.”
Followed only three paragraphs later with:
Tourists will be banned from climbing the rock from October 26 this year, after almost 30 years of campaigning by the Uluru-Kata Tjuta park board (made up primarily of the site’s traditional owners).
Haha. The cognitive dissonance is strong! But the funniest line is this one:
“Part of the problem at the rock is there’s been a focus on the creation story to the detriment of the geological science,”
Brilliant. Just brilliant. The complete lack of self awareness of the Conservatives is a sight to behold.
