Thank you very much, and thank you very much for all your hard work. I know you care greatly about this.
Just to your previous point, there have been submissions from indigenous peoples, from industry, from environmentalists. We take them all very seriously. I've been personally engaged in discussions but also in reviews with them, and I have great faith in the committee.
We have committed to a renewed nation-to-nation relationship based on respect, co-operation, and partnership rooted in the principles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. I would confirm that this bill reflects the commitment that we have upfront recognition of indigenous rights, mandatory consideration of rights and culture, and provisions for arrangements with indigenous groups to exercise powers and duties under the legislation. There is a focus on aiming to secure free, prior, and informed consent through processes based on mutual respect and dialogue.
I've spent a lot of time meeting with indigenous peoples, meeting with communities.
