Coalition senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price wants to overhaul native title law to ensure Indigenous communities benefit from resource riches.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says a Peter Dutton-led government would examine changes to native title and land rights laws to foster wealth creation.
Price, in an interview with this masthead before Garma, said a Peter Dutton-led government would examine changes to native title and land rights laws to foster wealth creation, mirroring the Abbott government-era focus on financial security for first Australians. “I’ve spoken clearly about the need for Indigenous communities to look at the native title and land rights act and to see how we can actually enable economic development,” she said.“Most marginalised exist in regional and remote Australia, and quite often these places are largely dependent on welfare.”” involving Indigenous leaders attacking one another, almost a year on from a referendum campaign in which Labor and Voice proponents accused the first-term senator of stoking division.
Her party leader, Dutton, has also ramped up his warnings on a Makarrata commission in recent days, labelling it the “Voice 2.0″. The commission, which Labor put, is designed to lead a program to establish Indigenous history and “tell the truth” about colonisation to educate the public.– on the weekend Albanese said a commission was “not what we have proposed”, creating confusion about how the government could back away from a body it had already allocated money towards.
