Abstract
The purpose of the draft legislation is to effect a regime for protecting the rights in Knowledge Resources held by Aboriginal Communities in New South Wales. The draft legislation should be responsive to characteristics of these Knowledge Resources and the fact that Aboriginal Knowledge Resources are not adequately protected by existing legislation. The draft legislation would also provide a comprehensive system for dealing with issues relating to Knowledge Resources irrespective of who holds title to land; in particular, the traditional lands and waters of Aboriginal peoples. The proposed regime complies with international treaty obligations for which Australia is a signatory.
