This Report discusses the nature of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and the aspects of it that Indigenous people feel should be protected. It examines how far the existing Australian legal system protects these aspects of Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property. It also considers possible solutions including legislation, administrative responses, policies, protocols and codes of ethics.
