Summary

Amends the:

Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976
to enable certain parcels of land to be granted to relevant Aboriginal Land Trusts;
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005
to: remove the connection between the election of members to the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) and Queensland local government elections; and allow for changes to be made to the composition of the TSRA, following a governance review.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
