tor GALLAGHER (—) (): I think the issues of the Beetaloo basin really fall under the responsibility of the Northern Territory government through the arrangements they have and through the responsibilities they have via the territory laws, but the federal government remains open to working with any community on any issue where there are concerns. If the standard processes that have been put in place aren't working then of course the government would stand ready, able and willing to engage with them on any issue that they seek to raise.
