Ruling overturns some Aboriginal hunting curbs ‘REGRETTABLE’ DECISION: Although the ruling tasks authorities with amending regulations that contravene the Constitution, Aborigines said it does not do enough By Chang Wen-chuan and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer and AFP The Council of Grand Justices yesterday ruled that some hunting restrictions on Aborigines were unconstitutional, but stopped short of supporting a total overhaul of regulations, which some hunting advocates had called for. Hunting restrictions have become a contentious issue among Aboriginal communities. Under current regulations, Aboriginal communities are only allowed to hunt with self-made shotguns during certain festivals and only with prior approval from authorities.
