Poeppel Corner in NT with Dog's

So why are Aborinals not only allowed, but paid to have packs of mangy, flea & worm ridden dogs, when we are forbidden to travel in the same areas with our dogs?

Hmmmmmm

I hear you mate!

Hi Shaker,

I've had a look at PJR's link, however cannot find a reference to not only where it says Aboriginals are allowed to take their dogs to areas where others cannot, but where it says they are paid to have packs of mangy, flea & worm ridden dogs.

Are you able to provide a reference please?

Best regards
Alan

That's because interfering do-gooder social workers and unemployment advisers, guided by opportunistic "Social Leaders" set out programs and policy that chain our aboriginals to a path that has been set for their continued social abandonment.

I don't like what I see in any Aboriginal community, whether it's in Northern Australia or Logan in Brizzy or Fingal Head NSW and I am sure that level headed elders also agree.

I would love the opportunity to have a guided flora / fauna instructional tour of the outback by a knowledgeable Aboriginal but I fear these skills are being lost.

Yeah I hear the "paid for mangy dogs etc etc" and shudder at the thought of visiting down town Katherine, but I reckon these issues irk our true Aboriginals more than it does us. And I have no recipe for a cure.

Good luck to them and I pray they get it sorted. But I believe pride and respect crap all over social security handouts for blacks or whites yellows whatever.

Hey Leave me out of this about aboriginals. Okay.

I didn't say anything about it.

That's cool dude.

Well Smouch you are wrong, in most NPs they have compliance officers that have the right to fine you for any breach of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

I wouldn't be so smug if I were you.

I believe part of the reason for our draconian rules is to stop parasites from domestic pet getting into the native animals. I'd be more concerned about it being the other way around. (What a foolish statement)

This statement here ''Your only in trouble if you get caught. I take mine just about everywhere. Never been busted but i am carefull and discrete."IMHO puts you in this catagory here. ' it's just a few bogun cocks that bugger it up for the rest of us."

As you know if is a NP then no, if it is not then yes.

The NT side is not a National Park....or any sort of park that I know of. I thought it was aboriginal land. The areas in Queensland and South Australia are parks. You require a Desert Parks Pass for the South Australian ones but nothing for the Queensland one. You are only allowed to camp a limited distance from the track in the Queensland one from memory.

Thank you mikehzz. That's the info I have been seeking. I'll research more and maybe we do....maybe we don't. An interesting point on being permitted to traverse an NP with domestic Animals provided you do not stop. But what if Big Red Stops you? I guess kept under control on leads while you extricated yourself would satisfy the "reasonable man" in a court of law provided the magistrate isn't hugging the pot-plant while she/he passes judgement. See you out there Mike.
