Defend Aboriginal land rights — under attack in NSW!

""The Liberals stabbed us in the front but Labor stabbed us in the back," said one land councillor at the May 6 march by NSW Aboriginal Land Councils on NSW Parliament House. "Without consultation or notice the Crown Lands Management Amendment (Statutory Review) Bill 2026 (the Bill) was introduced in Parliament under the guise of 'miscellaneous minor amendments'," said the NSW Aboriginal Land Council. "This is an attack by stealth. The NSW Government deliberately introduced an amendment to another Bill to hollow out our rights under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (ALRA) – one of the most significant land restitution frameworks in Australia. "If passed, the changes will erode Land Rights in NSW and overturn more than 40 years of hard work by the Aboriginal Land Rights Network to return land to our people."
