Meet George Newhouse, he is the lawyer who is going to bleed the government as he "protects" the rights of Aboriginal people.

Indeed as Jenny Maklin is about to forcibly resume land from the recalcitrant Tangentyere Council who rejected a $100 million Government bid to lease camps for 40 years in exchange for new infrastructure development.

Thats right the council is standing in the way of the Governments goal to build new infrastructure on the land, hopefully replacing the 188 houses and 72 tin humpies that passes as accommodation for some 3000 people.

But George smells blood, he says the forced resumption of leases would go against the Government's commitments to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

In fact, Mr Newhouse has warned forced acquisition will have a massive impact on the Budget;

"This action is going to cost the Government hundreds of millions of dollars.

"The Government's been talking about paying rent to Indigenous land owners or lease owners, but since the Warrigal case, the Government's going to be required to pay just terms compensation.

"And that's more than just rent and it's more than just the unimproved land value."
