ABORIGINAL HERITAGE
LEGISLATION AMENDMENT AND REPEAL BILL 2023 —TWO-BILL SPLIT —
PROPONENT APPLICATIONS
613. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I refer to calls by the opposition
to split the Aboriginal Heritage Legislation Amendment and Repeal Bill 2023 and
to ensure that the failed 2021 act can be immediately repealed.
(1) Is the
minister aware that the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage is advising
that proponents are not to make any applications under the existing 2021 act?
(2) What is the
impact of this discouragement on the productivity of our state if applications
are left in limbo, not even being processed?

(1)–(2) I am unaware whether that is the situation. I will
follow that up. As the member knows, we will debate the bill in the house next week. Very shortly, we will
release the draft regulations and offer the opposition a briefing.
