Increased support for at risk First Nations families
The Federal Government has committed $44 million in funding to strengthen support for First Nation families and children at risk of entering out-of-home care or already engaged with the child protection system. Indigenous children are almost 12 times more likely to be placed in out-of-home care or connected to the child protection system. The Commonwealth has committed to the Closing the Gap target to reduce the number of Indigenous children in out-of-home care by 45 per cent by 2031. Minister for Social Services Amanda Rishworth said the program recognises the importance of place-based, community-designed support for First Nations families and children.

First Nations women worst affected by the housing crisis
The number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait women and girls accessing specialist homelessness services has skyrocketed to a record high in the past five years, according to a new analysis that was launched at Parliament House to mark National Homelessness Week. Speaking at an event on Ending First Nations Homelessness in Parliament House, First Nations leaders and Homelessness Australia, with Aboriginal Housing Victoria and the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Housing Association (NATSIHA) highlight how lack of housing and high rates of homelessness compromise the safety of First Nations women and children's and the broader wellbeing of First Nations families and communities, and identify the solutions needed to end homelessness.

WA: ACH backflip a win for commonsense said Davies
WA Member for Central Wheatbelt Mia Davies has welcomed the belated reversal of the shambolic Aboriginal Cultural Heritage legislation. 'The decision is a win for commonsense and a win for the local community. I congratulate those that joined the Opposition in holding the Government to account for the shambolic way the legislation and regulations were introduced,' Ms Davies said. 'It was clear the regulations developed after the Act passed were unworkable and unnecessarily complex. This common-sense outcome shows what can be achieved by regional MPs, taking regional issues to Perth and being a hardworking opposition.'

King hit for nuclear waste dump at Kimba
The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has welcomed the Australian Government's decision to fully withdraw the former Federal government's proposal to establish a radioactive waste facility on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula against the wishes of Traditional Owners. Last month the Federal Court ruled in favour of Barngarla Traditional Owners, setting aside former Resources Minister Keith Pitt's declaration of the Kimba site. 'This is a welcome and sensible decision by Minister King and Federal Government to scrap this plan, which it inherited from the previous government and which was inconsistent with international best practice and community sentiment,' said ACF's nuclear free campaigner Dave Sweeney. 'Today's decision is a credit to the tenacity and courage of the Barngarla people, who have been utterly determined to protect their country.'

CLC urges Senate to reject wasteful review motion
The Central Land Council (CLC) calls on the Senate to reject a review that would duplicate existing independent processes that have confirmed the CLC's effective representation of Aboriginal Territorians. 'Northern Territory land councils are among the most-successful and most reviewed organisations in the country and the CLC has demonstrated over and over that we are well-governed, transparent and effective,' CLC chief executive Les Turner said. 'Only two months ago we welcomed an intensive performance audit by the Australian National Audit Office. One of a series of audits of NT land councils to be tabled this year alone.' The National Indigenous Australians Agency also regularly reviews the performance of the land councils.

Greens bill shifts burden to companies to ensure traditional owners are consulted on underwater cultural heritage
Greens Senator and spokesperson for First Nations and Resources Dorinda Cox is introducing a Private Senator's Bill that requires standards of consultation with Traditional Owners to be developed, ensures they are included as 'relevant people' in the consultation process and ensures that underwater cultural heritage is identified and protected under the environment plan and the offshore project proposals. The Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Amendment (Protecting the Spirit of Sea Country) Bill 2023 is designed to ensure that Traditional Owners and knowledge holders are included in the definition of 'relevant people' who must be consulted with.

WA: Laws overturned: Aboriginal cultural heritage legislation replaced
After serious consideration and consultation, the WA Government will repeal Aboriginal cultural heritage laws and restore the original Aboriginal Heritage Act of 1972, with simple and effective amendments to help prevent another Juukan Gorge incident. WA Premier Roger Cook said 'The Juukan Gorge tragedy was a global embarrassment, but our response was wrong, we took it too far, unintentionally causing stress, confusion and division in our community.' WA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Tony Buti said 'We've listened to the concerns raised and taken the time to assess its impact and find a way forward that is fair, reasonable and responsible.'

WA: Consultation, certainty and clarity the key in new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage laws
Western Australia's peak resources industry body acknowledges the WA Government's decision to restore Aboriginal cultural heritage laws from the 1972 Act, with additional targeted measures and reiterated the need for certainty and a smooth transition across the state following the WA Government's announcement that it will repeal the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act (ACHA) 2021. The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME) Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Tomkinson emphasised the principles of the ACHA 2021 must be preserved in the Government's decision to replace the current legislation with an amended Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA 1972).

WA State Government capitulation on heritage laws a win for common sense and fairness
'The decision to scrap the new, rushed cultural heritage laws is a win for West Australians who were completely ignored and bamboozled by inner-city elites who wanted to take control of private land by stealth,' said Daniel Wild, Deputy Executive Director of the Institute of Public Affairs. The declaration by the Western Australian Government that its position on the rushed, defective, and unworkable laws was untenable, is a win for farming communities who, according to IPA research, are already the most heavily regulated in the nation.

Tasmanian Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Roger Jaensch, has released the exposure draft of the Aboriginal Lands Amendment Bill 2023, following extensive public consultation. Connection to country, and the responsibility to care for it, is central to Aboriginal culture and identity, which is why the Tasmanian Government has prioritised introducing this legislation to improve the way land is returned to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. 'The Tasmanian Government is committed to returning more land to Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The Review into the model for returning the land highlighted that the current process does not work for all Tasmanian Aboriginal people,' Minister Jaensch said.
