Rock art vandalism condemned. :
"'If we went into a church and sprayed all around the church, we'd be put in jail for it.'"
Tribal elders make their points with simple, but powerful clarity. He is right. We'd be outraged. I wonder who did graffiti the tribal art. I shall be surprised if it is Australians because we do actually respect tribal paintings and the young ones especially have a special place for it in their hearts. It's like damaging dolphins or whales. It's just something we don't do. Walls, bridges, fences...well, that's another story. I hope they find the people who have damaged this art because it is part of our history and heritage. I hope they have to answer to the tribal elders.This cultural disrespect is unthinkable.
