NATIVE TITLE - PERTH METROPOLITAN AREA
As a supplementary question, does the ruling in support of native title mean that any current Aboriginal Heritage Act applications in the metropolitan area for land that is not held freehold will need to be put on hold and that native title negotiations will need to be initiated with the Nyoongah community? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

I hesitate because I do not want to provide an answer that may be misleading, but my experience as Minister for Indigenous Affairs, when I handled numerous Aboriginal heritage issues, tells me that the answer to that question is no and that the two issues are to be seen separately.
