I want to acknowledge some of the Tiwi Islands traditional owners that are in the gallery here today. Their traditional owners have been in court multiple times now, fighting the Barossa gas field project in the Northern Territory. These determinations have largely shown how the legislative framework is not designed to account for First Nations cultural heritage, especially when it's underwater or intangible. How is your government going to address this?
