ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE BILL 2020
79. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I refer to the consultation process
for the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2020. I apologise; it probably
does not mean ''2020''.
(1) Who has the minister met with
so far?
(2) Who is the minister planning to
meet with?
(3) When will these meetings take place and by what
means—that is, is the minister visiting local communities ,
inviting community leaders to Perth or via videoconference?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) The previous
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and I have met with a number of stakeholders
where the agenda included the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill. I ask that
this part of the question be put on notice.
(2) I or my staff
are meeting with representatives of organisations who want to bring their views
on the bill to my attention.
(3) These meetings have been or are being held in
Perth, on country and via videoconference, where appropriate.
