QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Government’s proposal to grant inalienable freehold title over parts of the State’s conservation estate to Aboriginal groups. (1) Does this proposal include Kings Park? (2) If so, which Aboriginal group would be granted inalienable freehold title to Kings Park? (3) If not, why is Kings Park excluded? Hon Tom Stephens: You are really pathetic. You have spent your entire parliamentary career being pathetic on these things. The PRESIDENT: The minister will come to order! Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
As I indicated, the answer to this question is somewhat similar to the previous question. (1) No. (2) Not applicable. (3) There is no proposal to grant any Aboriginal group inalienable freehold title over Kings Park or the Botanic Gardens. In any event, there is not the statutory capacity to grant such a title. The Government’s consultation paper, which includes an option to provide inalienable freehold title over parts of the conservation estate, extends only to those lands and waters that are managed under the provisions of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984. Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens are not managed under the CALM Act. Hon Tom Stephens: When will you show us your legal advice? Hon Norman Moore: Why don’t you show me what you showed the media? The Premier is prepared to give it to the media but not to the Parliament. What are you? Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich: You are all talk and no action, which is typical. The PRESIDENT: Obviously members have had a long break and they are not used to the standing orders.
