Is the second Aboriginal War about to break out?

The mildly racist proposals by the Australian government to halt the sale of pornography and alcohol to Aborigines in the Northern Territory has led the native people of Australia to threaten a ban on the climbing of Uluru, aka Ayers Rock, unless the proposals are scrapped. Already some natives are fleeing their homes as they believe that the army is coming to take away their children and their land. The former is probably not true but I wouldn't be so sure about the latter.
