AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Department of the Premier and Cabinet advises
the following.
Due to the short time to answer the
question, data is available only by financial year. The number of claims lodged
represents those claims that were current in the system at the end of each
year. The number resolved are cumulative figures for those claims that have a finding
by the Federal Court that native title either exists or does not exist, by
either consent or litigation. All outstanding claims are pending determination
by the courts. Applications may be withdrawn, struck out, discontinued and
dismissed during the year but are not considered to have been resolved.
The remainder of the answer is in tabular form, so I seek
leave to have it incorporated into Hansard .
Leave granted.
