Aboriginal groups have blamed an Indigenous advocacy organisation for promoting a “one tribe policy” after it managed to convince the New South Wales government to declare a popular tourist destination a “men’s site” and consider a ban on visitors.

The New South Wales government has worked closely with a “Wollumbin Consultative Group” since 2000—according to a statement— to provide “guidance” on the management of Wollumbin National Park near the border of New South Wales and Queensland.
