I am disappointed, Senator Lines, with senators opposite who are making claims that communities are closing or, even worse, that traditional owners are being forced off their land when they know this is not the case. It is unhelpful when senators opposite are tweeting that traditional owners have been forced off the land when they know this is not the case. So I call on those opposite to take a lead from this government and focus on delivering better outcomes for our first Australians, rather than misleading them.
