A fragmented report notes shifts in Aboriginal land rights legislation, with proposed exclusions and redefinitions. It cites the minister's statements, a parliamentary committee, and potential judicial review of land claims. The discussion centers on vested interests, exclusions, and the role of the commissioner.
Aboriginal groups and politicians clash over proposed changes to land and welfare claims. Legislation would shift claim processes to the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Aboriginal Legal Aid Service, aiming to streamline settlements but raising concerns about concessions to business interests and effects on Aboriginal reserves. The government hints at a November deadline for claim filings, while critics warn of inadequate protections and faster disenfranchisement.
A Central Aboriginal Land Council solicitor in Alice Springs warns that defects in the land rights process risk irreversible harm to Aboriginal aspirations. The discussion covers government delays, tenders, and whether responsible parties should be stripped of duties as land rights work proceeds.
Fragmentary notice mentions a time and place for a matter involving Persane and an alleged event.
