My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change, Minister Wong. Last week's announcement regarding the landmark case against the Australian government lodged to the UN Human Rights Committee by the people of the Torres Strait Islands in May 2021 clearly stated the federal government breached their fundamental rights to culture and life. What will the new Labor government do to ensure they uphold Indigenous rights as part their climate policy and planning, in particular article 27—the right to culture—and article 17—the right to be free from arbitrary interference with privacy, family and home?
