This Inquiry into economic self-determination and opportunities for First Nations Australians, if adopted and implemented promises a pathway for a transformation of economic circumstances and opportunities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. First Nation entrepreneurs and business leaders must engage to ensure recommendations in this report help to change socio-economic circumstances.

The Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs has delivered a pivotal report on Indigenous economic self-determination. This must be a catalyst for action to dismantle structural barriers and unlock billions in potential Indigenous economic development. As Professor Peter Yu AM, Chair of the First Nations Economic Empowerment Alliance, highlights: "The time for incremental change is over. Government, industry, and Indigenous leaders must unite to drive fundamental reform for genuine economic justice." With 22 powerful recommendations and inspiration from Canada’s successes, this report demands bold steps toward empowering Indigenous communities to create sustainable wealth through their lands and assets.

Interesting to see the WA government easily set up a $50 million interest free loan facility for lithium miners. It is only fair that this government also close the finance gap that Traditional Owners and PBCs face in the clean energy transition. An interest free loan facility for Traditional Owners is a logical solution that would directly address socio-economic disadvantage and economic self-determination. #traditionalowners #cleanenergy #funding #economicselfdetermination #aboriginalaustralia #westernaustralia
WA’s lithium industry supported more than 11,000 local jobs last financial year and we have three new lithium hydroxide refineries currently in construction or commissioning. But we know despite the competitiveness of this local industry, WA lithium has struggled recently with a sudden plunge in prices. It has already forced the suspension of some operations along with a loss of jobs. That’s why today we announced we’re delivering a financial support package to support WA’s fledgling lithium industry and the local jobs it creates. This package will help WA to remain globally competitive during this challenging time. And it will help our critical lithium industry and its workforce to the other side of this turbulent period – supporting local jobs and doing what’s right for WA.
Our absolute congratulations to the 200 Traditional Owner members from 49 families making up the the 'Western Desert Cultural Bloc' who claimed Native Title through the Urpurli Upurli Nguratja consent determination last week in Western Australia. See the link below for the coverage from National Indigenous Times. #nativetitle #traditionalowners #westernaustralia #congratulations #aboriginalaustralia Central Desert Native Title Services Ltd
Over 200 #TraditionalOwners returned to Cundeelee, 160km east of Kalgoolie, last week to be officially acknowledged as the Native Title holders through the Urpurli Upurli Nguratja consent determination. 🙌🏾 Over time, the movement of people across the desert has led to a diverse group of 49 families claiming native title in the region. As members of the 'Western Desert Cultural Bloc', they share a connection and claim the area through the tjukurrpa "the Dreaming" or "the Law".

A new report tabled in parliament today puts Aboriginal economic rights front and centre. ✊🏾 We’re pleased to see 22 recommendations from the Joint Standing Committee into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs’ economic prosperity report that – in our view – hear the voices of Traditional Owners and suggest game-changing reform that could transform our economic futures. The report finds, broadly, that First Nations businesses and people punch above their weight in their economic contribution, but face systemic barriers in raising capital – which locks mob out of the independent economic base we see as critical to achieving self-determination. Stronger support to engage in renewable energy development, increased core funding for Traditional Owner groups, and better recognition and resourcing for Indigenous intellectual and cultural property rights are among the recommendations we welcome in our media release.

Wuyaliya native title holders say they were not adequately consulted on Empire Energy's plan to drill nine onshore gas wells in the Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin. Lands, Planning and Environment Minister Joshua Burgoyne approved the company's Environment Management Plan last week with Empire Energy confirming it now just has one major regulatory approval to finalise before it can begin selling gas. Lillian Rangiah reports for Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
