Political stoush over call for federal inquiry into land councils

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s calls for a federal inquiry into the effectiveness of Indigenous land councils have been criticised by Labor and the Central Land Council as a waste of time and a “political stunt”.

Senator Price introduced a motion to refer land councils and similar organisations to the Finance and Public Administration References Committee on Wednesday in the Senate, which was backed by SA Senator Kerrynne Liddle, and supported by Victoria Senator Lidia Thorpe.

  1. The silver lining of PM ALP Albo’s legacy of the voice failing because it is an apartheid system dividing Australia into race/ culture wars is to expose the Darwin discriminatory special measures NTG Public Service HR system & overpaid CEO’s & committee’s who fail in governance. Well done for Jacinta for highlighting greed, power & self-interest are human traits not blak verse white.

    Is is true there are approximately 3,3000 Aboriginal Committees nationally who are designed to give Aboriginals a voice. What did NT ALP Warren Snowden achieve in 30 years after he confessed Aboriginals are worse off now? We need less bureaucracy for democracy.
