You're way off with your presumptive thoughts re animal welfare in this film and in Australia in general. Before making accusations, I suggest you look at some Aussie movies that feature animals like The Man From Snowy River, and Phar Lap. We are not a backward nation when it comes to the welfare of animals. We have to major corporate bodies looking after their interests, The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the Animal Welfare League. There's animal hospitals that cater to wildlife specifically, especially those caught up in our annual bushfires and flood emergencies.
I'm not going to comment on political matters between aboriginal elders and the Australian government at that time re 'religious beliefs' at the rock. Sorry for typos as I'm at work and forgot my reading glasses!
