Minister, this bill would seek to retrospectively invalidate an ILUA that does not have unanimous support but rather makes majority support sufficient for it to be a registerable ILUA. I put to you earlier the facts put by the Wangan and Jagalingou traditional owners whereby they say people who are not even part of their clan group were bused into a meeting at which a vote was then taken on the ILUA that this bill would now seek to validate. You said you had not even heard of those claims and they were simply assertions. Are you calling the traditional owners liars?
