"Two major tree-planting events have been cancelled following a demand by an Aboriginal corporation for a payment of $2.5 million in exchange for their approval.

LandCare volunteers were meant to roll up their sleeves to plant 5500 seedlings along Perth's Canning River on the weekend.

But the events never went ahead following a $2.5m demand from the newly formed Whadjuk Aboriginal Corporation, sparking confusion about Western Australia's new Aboriginal heritage laws.

Its chief executive David Collard told land care groups that the plantings couldn't proceed due to the Indigenous group's ongoing dispute with the WA government over funding.

The decision has bewildered conservation groups and community leaders, including four local mayors."

The Landcare Volunteer group was given $12,000,000 from the Government for the plantings and the aboriginal group wanted a $2.500,000 share of these funds.

"An Aboriginal elder from Western Australia has revealed that her family stepped in to shut down a community tree planting event over the weekend because it honoured the late Queen Elizabeth II, denying the state’s controversial new cultural heritage laws were to blame.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn claimed in a Facebook post on Sunday that the tree planting event at Wonthella Bushland Reserve had been called off after a “respected local knowledge holder shut down proceedings on the basis of ground disturbance and the new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act and the ‘significance’ of the site to the family”.

Speaking to the ABC on Monday, Nhanhagardi and Wajarri woman Donna Ronan said her family were disappointed they had not been consulted about the decision to honour the late monarch on what is a significant aboriginal site to them.

The council had installed a plaque honouring Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee at the reserve, where around 25 community volunteers gathered to plant trees as part of restoration efforts after a deliberately lit fire last year “ravaged” the area."

Imagine if the Voice is in the Constitution and there is a dispute about tree planting honouring a royal person or our diggers and it must go to the high Court for decision.
VOTE "NO" TO AVOID CONFLICT.
It is all about the money!
