Opposition spokeswoman on Indigenous affairs Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says 30 years of native title has left Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people “land rich, but dirt poor”, and the system needs to be overhauled.

Senator Price – a prominent leader of the successful No campaign during last year’s referendum for a Voice to parliament – said while well-meaning, laws needed to change to encourage private home ownership on native title land, as well as more business creation, including Aboriginal-owned mines.
