The second part of my question to the minister went to the issues of those parts of the requests that now allow matters other than monetary compensation to be included. I am interested in the government’s thinking in relation to that. Will that include a requirement for the provision of matters such as employment, or is it more about compensation reform other than monetary compensation? Will Indigenous people be able to negotiate employment outcomes or training outcomes as part of the development of the lease proposals?
