With the wild rivers legislation there is a commitment to have ranger jobs associated with it. Those ranger jobs are the jobs that people in Cape York have been asking for for a very long time. Yes, they want to have traditional ownership as a first step then they want to have the right to manage that land, and the way to do it is through ranger jobs then to have the economic outcome as well. I honestly hope this legislation will never pass.
