Western Australia's parliament passes a legislation to protect Aboriginal heritage in the mining state, but indigenous groups are not fully satisfied with it
Western Australia state said the new law is the only Aboriginal heritage legislation in the country to require that Aboriginal people give"informed consent" for agreements but Indigenous groups say it did not go far enough.
Western Australia state Premier Mark McGowan said on Wednesday the new legislation, which overhauled a 1972 law, took a respectful approach to managing Aboriginal cultural heritage in a state rich in mineral and energy resources on their land. One of the main concerns raised by Aboriginal groups is that the legislation keeps the final say over development decisions with a government minister in cases where a developer and traditional owners cannot agree terms.
"Change of this scale is complex, and the challenge ahead to deliver on the potential set out in the bill should not be underestimated," the chamber's chief executive Paul Everingham said in a statement in November.Destruction of a 46,000-year-old site
