Warren Mundine has defended strict rules around photographing sacred Aboriginal sites, but claimed fining visitors was unnecessary.
The Indigenous leader weighed in on the topic after Aussie travel vlogger Britt Cromie and her husband Tim were told to remove their Uluru social media posts.
The couple had visited Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park three months ago, with Ms Cromie revealing that she and her husband were blindsided by an email outlining 20 possible offences linked to their YouTube video and Instagram posts.
The national park's website states visitors must obtain a permit if they are shooting content for 'commercial and public purposes'.
Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is considered culturally sensitive because it has spiritual significance for Aboriginal people in the area, known as the Anangu.
