Dr Raymond Kelly, Chair of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council joins Koori Radio News to talk about the impacts for the community from the recent introduction of the Crown Lands Management Amendment Bill 2026. (Statutory Review)

Dr Kelly says the bill could undermine the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 and block the applications of parcels of land waiting for determination to be approved.

He says these decisions will affect the current reality for communities who already live off country and won't improve housing and employment opportunities for First Nations people across News South Wales.
