| The traditional owners of Uluru have been let down by Australia in the deal that saw the return of the iconic rock to them, the Indigenous Affairs Minister says.
Monday marks the 30th anniversary of the federal government handing back the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
"By and large the rock looks the same and, tragically, so does (the) Mutitjulu (community)," Nigel Scullion told several hundred people celebrating the anniversary at Uluru on Sunday night.
He said that on October 26, 1985, the government returned to the Anangu people what had always belonged to them and signed a 99-year lease to jointly manage the park.
"The implicit part of the agreement is that Anangu people do better because of the things that would come here; they would have jobs, they would have a better life, they would have more choices," Mr Scullion said.
