Opening remarks - Canberra

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we're meeting and pay my respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. And I thank all of you for not just participating today, but for the work – I actually watched you yesterday, Danielle, the questions, welcome to our world. And the fact that many of you have participated either in the forums that we've had, and we've had more than 40, we've had more than 900 submissions.

50 years since the Gurindji land handback

The Albanese Labor Government recognises 50 years since the Gurindji land handback, a turning point in the struggle for Aboriginal land rights.

On 16 August 1975, Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam poured soil into Vincent Lingiari’s hands, during an official handover ceremony which formally granted the Gurindji people a lease to a parcel of land at Wave Hill cattle station.

It would become an iconic image of land rights and a defining moment in Australian history.

The signing of the surrender was some weeks off, but the darkness that had engulfed the world – and made its last stand in the Pacific – was at last lifted.

Here in Sydney – as they did in towns and cities across Australia – crowds poured into the streets. They sang and danced amid a joyous blizzard of paper.

The Prime Minister actually secured the funding as Infrastructure Minister for the Red Cliff Railway Line, which has been an absolute asset to our community, getting people to the city to work right away.
