I thought Senator Crossin’s question was: is it true that a permit provided by land councils or traditional owners under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act cannot be revoked by anyone else? My point is that outside the townships and the main street, where a permit is not required, that is the case. It is the case today before the provision of this legislation. That is the circumstance and, under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, that is the case.
