Amends the

Competition and Consumer Act 2010
to: prohibit the supply in trade or commerce of anything that includes an indigenous cultural expression, unless it is done in accordance with an arrangement with the relevant indigenous community and artist and the thing is made in Australia; and create an offence for the supply of anything that includes an indigenous cultural expression without an arrangement with the relevant indigenous community and artist.

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.
