The government does not support this motion as we do not support actions that question the rights of native title holders to make decisions about their own land. The Wangan and Jagalingou native title group authorised an agreement with Adani in April 2016, by 294 votes to one, which was registered in December 2017.

The government does not support any calls to oppose the agreement made by the traditional owners and Adani. The government supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who want to pursue economic development and jobs. We welcome the opportunities for employment and business growth that developments like Adani offer.
