Following the proposition of bans on parts of the Kakadu National Park it seems Australians are losing touch with a pretty basic fact that the wealth we have "didn't fall out of the sky," says Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
"People had to work for it, work hard, work smart," Mr Bolt said.
"You have a look around and see how many people now think we can keep shutting down our cities, shutting down whole industries, and we'll somehow not feel it, we won't get poorer".
"All of that's sort of sad enough, but I think it's tragic when you see some of this same thinking in some of our poorest communities".
It comes after the traditional owners of the Kakadu National Park have threatened some of the Park's best attractions could be closed.
Mr Bolt spoke to Sky News Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham about the issue.
"Essentially there's a disagreement between the traditional owners and Parks Australia," Mr Cunningham said.
"This is something that has been running for quite some time".
Traditional owners are also threatening to close Ubirr, a particularly significant attraction at Kakadu.
"It's a worrying situation, you would have to say," Mr Cunningham said.
Mr Bolt said two of the Northern Territories "biggest draw cards," in Uluru and now Kakadu, have been "hampered by some of these bans".
"Tourism operators in the Northern Territory, they've really suffered enough through all this coronavirus crisis," Mr Bolt said.
"They can't be happy with this".
"I think they're absolutely tearing their hair out," said Mr Cunningham.
