ABORIGINAL CULTURAL
HERITAGE ACT — EXISTING AGREEMENTS
435. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I have a supplementary question. I also
spoke to the minister about the agreements between the state government, and he
indicated that that work was still underway —
Dr A.D. Buti : The state
government and what?
Ms M.J. DAVIES : The state
government and the Yamatji Nation Indigenous Land Use Agreement and the south
west native title settlement and I think the minister mentioned Esperance
specifically. Can the minister advise whether that work has been completed, as
he advised during estimates that it was underway?
The SPEAKER : That was a very
lengthy supplementary but, minister, I ask you to respond.

As a state government, we are
genuine in our commitment to ensure that we preserve Aboriginal cultural
heritage. We have engaged in numerous
agreements with Aboriginal groups and that will continue. I do not see any
problems under the new regime.
