I rise to support this disallowance motion. I listened intently to what Senator Cox had to say. I understand that she wants us to listen to the First Nations people of our country, and I totally accept that. So why can't we listen to the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council, who actually, under New South Wales legislation, are the responsible Aboriginal land council for this area and speak on behalf of country in Blayney.

This is why people struggle with these concepts. At the end of the day, we are told we've got to listen to First Nations voices, but which First Nations voice is the voice we have to rely on?
