QuestionView source ↗
I refer to your May 2023 commitment for cost recovery when it comes to Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and I ask:
(a) Given the Government announced that the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage cost recovery model would underpin $77 million in investment over four years, how much revenue was actually collected under the cost recovery regime before the laws were repealed;
(b) What modelling did the Government undertake in 2023 to estimate the compliance costs that would be imposed on farmers, miners, local governments and small businesses under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage (Cost Recovery) Regulations 2023;
(c) How much of the $77 million Aboriginal cultural heritage implementation package was ultimately spent before the Government abandoned the regime;
(d) Did the Government receive legal advice regarding whether mandatory cultural heritage management plan fees could expose the State to legal challenge or compensation claims; and
(e) Has the Government undertaken any post-implementation review into the financial and administrative consequences of the abandoned 2023 cost recovery model?
