The Tasmanian Government is strongly committed to improving social, cultural and economic outcomes for Aboriginal people in Tasmania, and to promote a greater understanding of Aboriginal culture.
Along with the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Roger Jaensch, I had constructive discussions today with Aboriginal community leaders about improving a range of outcomes for Aboriginal Tasmanians.
We discussed a number of matters including the return of petroglyphs, joint land management and the future of land handback arrangements along with other matters.
We will continue to work closely with all Tasmanian Aboriginal communities and I look forward to further discussions in coming months.
