Certainly, I would also share a similar thinking along the lines of the grand chief in that appeal mechanisms can be developed under customary codes. The resources would need to be allocated to that type of initiative.
I know there are concerns about the costs associated with setting up appeal mechanisms or tribunals, but the cost would need to be compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by this government in taking indigenous issues to court.
Last week we saw a publication come out recognizing that Aboriginal Affairs is the first one to the courtroom when it comes to government positions.
When we argue about resources and establishing local appeals committees or tribunals, I believe this has to be weighed against what the current practice is.
