Indigenous People behaving badly!
it seems to be a bit more complicated - https://www.crownland.nsw.gov.au/news/aboriginal-land-claim-granted-reserve-naremburn
As far as I can read:
- The Talus Street Reserve was state-owned public land, managed on behalf of the public by the Willoughby City Council.
- The Willoughby Council entered into a commercial sub-lease with private tennis operators (Love ‘n Deuce). This was found to be legally “invalid” under Crown land rules.
SO Because the lease was invalid, the land was legally classified as “not lawfully occupied”—making it open to a land claim.
SO the tennis club violated the terms of lease by sub-leasing, so making the land up for grabs.
