Attorney general George Brandis is frantically pushing through changes to the Native Title Act. Many native title groups and remote communities don’t even know it’s happening.
This landmark bill decides Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s rights. It deserves proper consultation.
The inquiry into the bill was only publicised a week ago, and it closes today. So far, only big mining companies have made submissions.
We’re working with our allies at the Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network to demand proper consultation that seeks input from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Can you please take 2 minutes to contact the inquiry today to demand proper consultation on changes to the Native Title Act?
We already started one to make it easy for you.
