A premier attraction in the northern Kimberley, operators were told no new licenses would be issued to companies looking to pass through the falls, although no final decision had been made on long-term changes for companies that already hold licenses. In a statement, a Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions spokesman said while no firm decision around changes have been made, they were being considered for a number of reasons.

At what point do we call it? Australia belongs to us all - not just some

Lol, I think Horizontal Falls makes that decision...🤘🤿

“Businesses currently pay a fee to traditional owner group Dambeemangaree for use of the land and sea, who consider the falls and surrounds as a spiritual place with cultural significance.” Sounds like cultural significance has a price tag.

C’mon Australia! When are we going to stop restrictions to public places?

The Voice will be extremely beneficial in uplifting Aboriginals out of poverty. I see no reason why they can not charge a fee for the use we all enjoy on their land. From 'metro-tunnel', Bells Beach, Surfers Paradise, Great Ocean Road, SCG - all on country. PAY UP. auspol

this will be the norm soon folks if you vote yes locked out of otr own fkn country our own national parks its a fkn disgrace for the love of your family VOTE NO!

Keep tourists away. Look at Fraser Island, the tour operators have destroyed the tracks with their big 4WD buses. The place is a mess now and too busy.

They will milk every last cent they can, it’s a capital venture nothing less.

Of course. How about we put on the heading aboriginal groups? Want to stop people having fun by going through the horizontal Falls. This country is out of control with the bending over we do.

It’s always about the money. Pay them more, it’ll be all sweet. This is getting ridiculous.

It's a cultural water chasm! 🤣😅 Used by the fkall people who lived there.

*pays a fee to traditional owners ahhh, capitalism at its finest and what do the 'traditional owners' do to earn this 'fee'?

Barilaro has been trending for about four days now after a self incriminating audio was presented by someone whose home was fire bombed twice. ...... And what does the ABC say about this? NOTHING!

No one really owns Australia
