Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Does the minister accept that the Muckaty nomination for a nuclear waste dump is heavily contested—it was at the time—and that it does not have the continued support of the Ngapa clan, as Minister Ferguson’s press release wrongly states? Can the minister outline what appeal rights will be available to people aggrieved by the Northern Land Council’s unilateral nomination of their land for this facility? Does the Minister appreciate how divisive this will be and has been within this community?
