I ask the minister: does the government believe that free, prior and informed consent ought to be a fundamental principle of any consultation, particularly before the imposition of any legislative provisions on Indigenous communities? Do you further agree that, if you do not allow those provisions of free, prior and informed consent, you are undermining the rights of people in Indigenous communities?
