Jack Beetson ran a radio program for the North-West of NSW about 15 years ago. It was talk-back bringing black and white people together. One night he got a phone call from an avid listener saying "Jack... what did aboriginal people call Australia before white-man came?" and quick as a flash he said "Ours" and it took a while for the bloke to register, but quite simply it's ours.
