First Nations Peoples' Rights Working Group

RIAA's First Nations Peoples' Rights Working Group is an initiative to support members in their stewardship responsibilities respecting First Nations peoples' rights in their business operations and their portfolio of companies.

The meeting will open with a presentation on the Commonwealth cultural heritage reform process from Aurora Milroy, the Director of Policy at the National Native Title Council. Anirudha Nagar, the Director of Clean Energy and Investment at the National Native Title Council, will then present on the Future made in Australia and future acts regime. We will then continue with the regular working group agenda, including an update on the Dhawura Ngilan Business and Investor Initiative, First Nations Investment Markets Research, an Aotearoa update, the StockWatch Report and RIAA’s policy update. Please note the presentation component of this meeting will not be recorded so we encourage you to join the meeting at the scheduled time.

This meeting opened with a presentation from Karl Briscoe, Co-Chair of the national Close the Gap Campaign. This was followed by the working group’s standard agenda items including a series of industry updates as well as updates from the group’s subgroups. The working group then had the opportunity to reflect on our workplan as well as receive an update from RIAA’s Head of Policy and Advocacy.
