My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Minister Wong. You have previously stated that it is undertaking thorough consultation on First Nations heritage reforms with First Nations communities and organisations which will determine the time line of these reforms. Yet your own records show that you have not consulted with the First Nations heritage alliance since the end of last year and other First Nations stakeholders since February. My question is: how are you undertaking extensive and thorough consultation when you are not actually consulting at all?
