Mr DREYFUS (Isaacs—Cabinet Secretary and Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency) (11:57): The Carbon Farming Initiative legislation does provide for people with eligible interests in land to have the right to consent to Carbon Farming Initiative sequestration projects. The government recognises that other groups may need to be prescribed by regulation as having eligible interests and is currently consulting with Indigenous and other groups on this issue. Item (1) of the proposed amendment pre-empts the outcomes of that consultation. I have recently hosted a roundtable with Indigenous leaders from right across the country on their participation in the Carbon Farming Initiative and more talks are planned with representatives from the land sector and with other stakeholders and Indigenous groups. It does seem reasonably clear, however, that those who hold a mining lease or who have determined native title over an area of land do have a legitimate interest in projects on that land. This amendment is seeking to give some say to mining tenement holders. Once the consultations have concluded, the government intends to examine these issues again and will look to move an amendment in the Senate to capture the outcomes of consultation. Question negatived.
