Following discussions on Thursday 19 March with the Minns Labor Government and Members of NSW Parliament, the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) confirms that Aboriginal Land Rights in NSW is under attack following the introduction of a recent Bill by the Minister for Lands and Property, Steve Kamper and his Office.

Without consultation or notice the Crown Lands Management Amendment (Statutory Review) Bill 2026 (the Bill) was introduced in Parliament under the guise of “miscellaneous minor amendments”. They are not minor.

This is an attack by stealth. The NSW Government deliberately introduced an amendment to another Bill to hollow out our rights under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (ALRA) – one of the most significant land restitution frameworks in Australia.
