My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Minister Gallaher. Redland City Council, situated in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, is facing native title claims over roughly 3½ thousand council owned and managed properties, including Wellington Point reserve, the Cleveland Cemetery and most of the local parks and playgrounds. The Albanese government and the previous coalition government have funded the Queensland South Native Title Service with almost $71 million over a period of five years to make claims against the Redland City Council and other extensive council areas throughout Queensland. What funding has the Albanese government provided for the respondents—councils and ratepayers—to fight these outrageous claims?
