[See papers 505 and 506.] SOUTH WEST ABORIGINAL LAND AND SEA COUNCIL — NATIVE TITLE CLAIMS Statement by Premier MR C.J. BARNETT (Cottesloe — Premier) [2.03 pm]: On Friday, 5 July 2013, the government of Western Australia presented a final offer to the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council to settle native title claims across the south west of Western Australia, including Perth. The historic offer is the culmination of more than three and a half years of close negotiations between the government, SWALSC and representatives from across the Noongar community, and has been conducted with immense effort and goodwill from both sides. If accepted by the Noongar people, the settlement will represent the most comprehensive agreement since the 1992 Mabo decision. The Noongar people are the largest single Aboriginal cultural bloc in Australia, comprising more than 30 000 people, with the south west claims covering an area of approximately 194 000 square kilometres.
