| Summary |
"Improving Indigenous people?s access to land has been an element of successive Australian Governments? approaches to reducing Indigenous disadvantage. The Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC), an independent Australian Government statutory authority, was established on 1 June 1995 under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Act 1989 (ATSIC Act) to acquire land that would not be otherwise available to Indigenous people - where Native Title has been extinguished, for example. Following the abolition of ATSIC in 2004, the then Australian Government maintained a focus on land acquisition and re-established the ILC under Part 4A of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 (ATSI Act). More recently, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) reaffirmed the importance of Indigenous land in efforts to reduce Indigenous disadvantage, noting that 'access to land and Native Title assets, rights and interests can be leveraged to secure real and practical benefits for Indigenous people' extending beyond economic opportunities, to also enable environmental, social and cultural outcomes."--Summary. |
