Western Victoria Region
Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (12:51): (349) My question is for the Attorney-General and concerns the recognition and settlement agreement she signed in October last year with the Barengi Gadjin Land Council, representing five traditional owner groups. The text of the agreement has been belatedly released but is frequently redacted and contains no detail on the funding to be provided to the land council. No detail is given on the one-off initial payment, the monies on trust, the funding to support the corporation or the funding to support the natural resource agreement at clause 6.2, nor is the minimum annual funding agreement revealed in clause 6.3 or the joint management funding in clause 8.1, yet the Taungurung RSA signed in 2018 contains all these figures. On what grounds, Minister, have you now chosen to redact this information?
Sitting suspended 12:53 pm until 2:02 pm.
