ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE BILL — DRAFT
835. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Aboriginal
Affairs:
Minister, on Saturday I attended a rally
organised by Indigenous stakeholder groups who are concerned about what they
consider inadequate consultation in the drafting of the upcoming Aboriginal
cultural heritage bill. They feel the consultation period has been too short,
and that important First Nations' voices have been ignored. Can the
minister advise the house of what Aboriginal stakeholder groups he has met with
during consultation on the draft Aboriginal cultural heritage legislation?

I thank the honourable member for
the question. The honourable member is showing his inexperience in this place
by asking a question without notice looking for detail. If he honestly wanted
to find out who I have met with in relation to this bill over the past few
months, or, indeed, who the last minister has met with over the past few years,
he should give us some notice so that we can give him an answer.
