Description
Aboriginal land councils in New South Wales are fighting against a proposed change to the 1983 Aboriginal Land Rights Act, which would limit their ability to claim Crown land under lease. The bill has sparked protests and an emergency meeting, with land council leaders and workers like Denise Hampton expressing concerns about job losses and cultural access. The lands minister argues the system is broken, citing technical lease issues, but land councils are pushing back, hoping to keep the fight alive for future generations and community benefits.
