A/HRC/15/37/Add.4 • The categories provide an objective basis for targeting the benefits of income management that is independent of race, and as a result, is intended to be nondiscriminatory. The RDA will apply in relation to the new scheme of income management from the commencement of implementation in July 2010. • Following collection and evaluation of evidence from the [Northern Territory] in 2011, the scheme will be extended to other disadvantaged regions of Australia beyond the [Northern Territory]. This new scheme is part of the Government’s significant welfare reform agenda. • Alcohol restrictions will be continued, but the restrictions will be varied to meet the individual needs of specific communities based on careful analysis of evidence about each community’s circumstances, and implemented in consultation with the community. Existing alcohol restrictions will remain in place in a particular area until an assessment of alcohol-related harm and other matters and appropriate consultations have taken place. The Government will also work with the Northern Territory Government and indigenous communities to look at ways to make the alcohol and prohibited materials and road signs more acceptable to local people. The provisions giving [Northern Territory] police the power to enter a private residence in a prescribed area as if it were a public place will be repealed and will only be available in a particular area through a ministerial declaration in response to a request from a community resident and after community consultation. • In light of the strength of community views expressed during the consultations against the availability of sexually explicit and very violent material, the current pornography restrictions will remain in place. However, communities could ask to have the restrictions lifted in their community. Decisions on these requests would consider evidence about the prevalence of sexually explicit and very violent material in the community, the well-being of people in the community and the views of those in the community. The advice of the relevant law enforcement authority will also be sought. The Government will work with the Northern Territory Government and individual communities to look at ways to make the road signs more acceptable to local people. • The purpose and operation of the five-year leases will be clarified by: • Making it clearer that the objectives of the five-year leases are to enable special measures to be taken to improve the delivery of services in indigenous communities in the [Northern Territory] and promote economic and social development in those communities • Defining the permitted use of leases as being directly related to achieving those objectives • Clarifying that exploration and mining are not permitted uses of the five-year leases • Requiring the five-year leases to be administered with regard for Aboriginal culture • Facilitating the Government’s commitment to move to voluntary leases by requiring the Government to negotiate the terms and conditions of voluntary leases in good faith where requested • Developing clear guidelines to better explain the land use approval process to ensure the transparent allocation of lots Separately, the Government is compensating landowners for the acquisition of these leases 38 GE.10-13887
