Mr DREYFUS (Isaacs—Cabinet Secretary and Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency) (12:03): As we have said earlier in this debate, the government is committed to facilitating Indigenous participation in the Carbon Farming Initiative. Savanna fire management, revegetation and rangeland restoration projects will provide valuable opportunities for Indigenous people to employ traditional land management practices and to work on-country. That is why the Carbon Farming Initiative bills include special provisions that make it easier for holders of exclusive possession native title to undertake Carbon Farming Initiative revegetation and soil carbon projects on their land. The opposition's amendments (2) to (7) are taking us in the opposite direction. They would take away simple access to the Carbon Farming Initiative by requiring Indigenous people to seek the consent of state governments before they could carry out a Carbon Farming Initiative project on their land. In a very real sense, these amendments, if they were passed, would provide less certainty for native title interests in a way that is contrary to the treatment of other interests. In a very real sense, native title interests would be likely to have less say under this approach—instead of the certainty we are seeking to provide in the Carbon Farming Initiative bills. That said, as I have indicated in respect of the earlier amendment, we are continuing with consultation. But at this point the government opposes these amendments. Question negatived. Bill agreed to.
