‘Deplorable state’: Dysfunctional relationship between Parks Australia and Traditional Owners | CameronGooley
Scathing report says relationship between Parks Australia and the Traditional Owners at key national parks has fallen to a “deplorable state”.
Environment Minister Sussan Ley has announced $48 million of extra parks funding in response to the report.But an advisory group investigating how the joint management structures work has found the current system is failing the Aboriginal owners of the land. The report found that Traditional Owners believed their legal rights to the land were not being respected in Canberra, and that years of broken promises and unfulfilled funding commitments from governments had left them distrustful.Traditional Owners also highlighted a lack of understanding and respect from Parks Australia regarding their knowledge and cultural connection to Country.
The board passed a vote of no confidence in the agency, accused it of failing to communicate with Traditional Owners, criticised how it handled a helicopter crash in the park in 2019, and claimed it had mishandled the park’s reopening after COVID-19 shutdowns.
