8 Interviewee story summaries It seemed to Geiza that the required process of notifying anybody who has any interest in land, or questions about it, was not followed. Nor were PBC meetings happening on time, or regularly, at the time of her interview. As a result, Geiza believed that the non-director members of the PBC do not really know what is going on and struggle to hold the decision-makers accountable. Geiza found this lack of communication and lack of transparency to be concerning and noted that it generates community tension and misunderstandings. Throughout her interview, Geiza emphasised the importance of those in leadership roles prioritising the benefit of the whole community. She noted how in her experience, women had this focus and it was important to ensure women were in leadership positions, including in the PBC, so that community interests are not outweighed by individual interests. In the context of the maintenance and handing-down of traditional laws and customs, Geiza discussed the lifestyle changes on the island, including that many families live on the mainland for a period of time. Such changes have impacted some families’ ability to pass down their knowledge of Country as comprehensively as they used to. Geiza felt that this has left a gap which was able to be exploited and care needed to be taken with extra vigilance around transparency and accountability. Australian Human Rights Commission 79
