As I was about to say, we have the four land councils in the Northern Territory. Under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act, their role is to consult with each of the language groups across their jurisdiction. The Northern Land Council covers the northern part of the Top End. You have the Central Land Council in the central part of the Territory. You have Anindilyakwa Land Council over on Groote Eylandt, and you have the Tiwi Land Council on the Tiwi Islands. It is important that through the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act, whether it's with Larrakia people or people in the western area or the Yolngu in the eastern area, there is a process they go through to provide their consent.
