Indigenous Working Group & Amendment Bill
There was little discussion between Indigenous people and the Australian Government over the Native Title Amendment Bill and the 10 Point Plan.
A National Indigenous Working Group was established to provide input to the amendment process.
However, only the opposition parties, the Labor Party and Democrats, were willing to talk.
The Group's paper, "Coexistence, Negotiation and Certainty", had little influence on the government or the independents in the Senate.
This side lining of Indigenous representatives was in marked contrast to 1993, when the original Native Title Act was drafted.
