The Special Rapporteur, James Anaya, gave the keynote address at the conference, focusing on the Declaration and linking it with the conference theme, “Be Informed, Be Involved, Be Inspired“. The conference brings together the 119 local aboriginal land councils throughout New South Wales every two years to discuss work and exchange information and experiences.
