That's been all of world history for 1300 years, what difference does it make?

  Are you cool with it happening now? Then maybe it's not right, and maybe it wasn't right before.

    What do you propose with regards to that? The concept of historical reparation is in general quite complex, do you think it would be possible here?

      The existing solution of the state exploiting mineral rights to non-Aboriginal land and [at least theoretically] distributing their proceeds across the entire population, including those whose access to the land was taken, is probably less suboptimal than regarding mineral rights as 'belonging' to the person who most recently acquired the land title.

    "right" doesn't enter into it. The people with guns have always made the rules and still do.
