A group of senior Indigenous men and women are calling on the federal government for a wide-ranging royal commission into Indigenous corporations and statutory bodies to fix what they say is a âbroken systemâ.
It follows last weekâs move by South Australiaâs Liberal government to back a parliamentary inquiry into local Indigenous corporations, focusing on governance standards following a series of scandals and failures.
The former head of the National Native Title Tribunal, Raelene Webb QC, told
The Sydney Morning Herald and
The Age that the system should be overhauled, but rather than a royal commission she wants to see âopen dialogueâ with Indigenous communities to design a better blend of âWestern-style corporate governanceâ with traditional land management.
