This is a matter primarily for the Cape York Land Council. I am aware that a letter has been sent to the Attorney, and I understand my department has received a copy of that. These are matters that are usually determined by the native title tribunal. As I said, it is not uncommon for a few people to disagree—remember, I spoke to 300 traditional owners who represent the cape. This matter, I know, is a bit of a focus for those people who are outside of that process. I am not sure where we're up to with either the Attorney-General's Department or my department, but, in regard to my department, on notice I'll attempt to provide answers to the senator on the matters in that letter.
