新南威尔士州提出的土地权利变更面临着强烈反响, 由于可能会通过将空置租用土地重新归类为"合法使用", NSW's proposed land rights changes face backlash for potentially blocking thousands of Aboriginal claims by reclassifying vacant leased land as "lawfully used."

新南威尔士州政府对原住民土地权利法提出的修改, 认为租用地是"合法使用", 即使空置也会引起广泛批评. The NSW government’s proposed changes to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, which would classify leased land as “lawfully used” even if vacant, are sparking widespread criticism. 为了防止对冲浪俱乐部和消防站等公共资产的索赔, 高院决定支持La Perouse土地委员会对废弃的帕丁顿保龄球俱乐队的要求. The move, aimed at preventing claims on public assets like surf clubs and fire stations, follows a High Court decision favoring the La Perouse Land Council’s claim to the abandoned Paddington Bowling Club. 批评者包括新州土著土地委员会和法律协会, 他们认为修正案破坏了原住民几十年的土地权利, 有风险阻多达3000个索赔权, 并没有进行咨询或审查. Critics, including the NSW Aboriginal Land Council and the Law Society, argue the amendment undermines decades of Indigenous land rights, risks blocking up to 3,000 claims, and was added without consultation or review. 政府表示正在修复技术缺陷, 但反对者警告说这可能使土地银行成为可行且优先考虑私人利益而不是社区使用. The government says it’s fixing technical flaws, but opponents warn it could enable land banking and prioritize private interests over community use. 超过42,000名土著的土地索赔在全州仍未得到解决. Over 42,000 Aboriginal land claims remain unresolved across the state.
