My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Senator Abetz. My question relates to the application by the Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo Native Title Group under sections 9 and 10 of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act for both an emergency declaration over Pluto area B on the Burrup and to have the area declared a significant Aboriginal area. When does the minister intend to make a decision relating to the application? Will the area be protected while the minister is making a decision?
