The NSW government has approved more than 400 applications to harm or interfere with Aboriginal heritage sites over the past five years, including 84 applications since last year.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Don Harwin told the hearing that every Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit had been ratified in the past 12 months, adding that conditions were attached to the approvals to mitigate impacts.

The NSW government was unable to identify any knock backs to permits submitted over the past five years.
Pressing Mr Harwin over the issue, Greens MP David Shoebridge said NSW was overseeing a scheme of managed destruction rather than managed protection. He said the damage to Aboriginal heritage sites was replicating what had occurred when Rio Tinto blew up 46,000-year-old Aboriginal rock shelters at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia.
The Mazda RX-3 rotary sedan is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, having launched onto the scene back in 1971. It has since become a cult classic among car collectors and tuners, and examples nowadays are fetching around AU$100,000 on the used car market.
It was originally introduced as a successor to the RX-2 and the R100. However, the RX-3 is described as a landmark vehicle for Mazda, helping to establish the brand as an international auto company. It was also one of the most successful rotary sports cars of all time, accumulating 286,757 sales around the world. Only the three generations of subsequent RX-7 overshadow it, with 811,634 sales.

1 month ago
The 62nd season of the Australian Touring Car Championship is just a few days from getting underway, the Supercars Championship starting where it left off in 2020 at the Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst.
For the first time since 1971 the track which ended the last season will start the next and there’s arguably no better place than the spiritual home of Australian motorsport, located three hours from the nation’s capital, Canberra.
Though Bathurst is famous for the annual 1000km endurance race normally held in October, the Mount Panorama 500 which starts the year off this weekend will be the first sprint round held at The Mountain since 1996 and the first ever time that Bathurst has kicked off the year.
