As I say, we are now considering the recommendations of that report, and one of them is the issue that you've referred to. I've said repeatedly through my answers that we intend to consult on these matters. We aren't in a position to provide a time frame for them, but we do take them seriously.

I think this government's got an excellent track record on delivering for the interests of First Nations peoples, and that's why we want to take this matter seriously as well.
