I am wondering whether the Commonwealth actually spoke to the Aboriginal communities where the negotiations had been held up to find out why. I am sorry to say this but, in my opinion, state governments do not always negotiate in good faith. There may be other reasons—maybe justified reasons—why there were delays there. Did you seek to find out what the hold-ups were and whether they were justified?
