Minister, if you don't understand how clans and nations make decision-making processes, then why is this bill being introduced? What's happening on the ground out there is that traditional owners in their thousands are being excluded from decision-making that ultimately destroys country or gives country away. If you don't have an understanding of cultural practice in terms of decision-making, then how is this bill relevant? How can you put this bill forward?
