Abstract

The enactment of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (hereinafter ‘the Act’)is the most significant change that has occurred in Australian property law in the past 27 years. A muchcelebrated milestone, the Act formally recognized traditional Indigenous legal systems and introduced legal pluralism into Australia’s legal system. However, in practice, the native title system remains beset with problems. One of the key issues is native title’s failure to protect Indigenous water rights. ‘Cultural Flows’ is a policy framework conceived of by Indigenous peoples to further advance Indigenous water rights and to include Indigenous voices in water planning and management. This paper proposes the creation of a joint Cultural Flows Commission to assist in implementing Cultural Flows. The paper explores how an intergovernmental agreement could be used to establish the Commission and how the Commission could play a vital role in reforming water law and policy to advance Indigenous selfdetermination in Australia. Most importantly, the Commission would address the many calls for ‘national focus’ when implementing Cultural Flows.
