My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. First Australians on traditional lands have the lowest life expectancy of any identifiable group on earth, the highest incarceration rates and the highest stolen children rates. Minister, is this surprising when they have no ownership rights over quarrying, minerals, timber, water or the land itself? Therefore, will you recognise Australia's biggest First Australian community when they consider proposals inter alia for proper inalienable fee simple title and recognise their authority, not that of a whitefella bureaucracy in Brisbane and Canberra?
