Delegation pushing for greater consultation Palawa man Rodney Gibbins is the chair of the tuylupa tunapri palawa community delegation, which he said was formed in July last year in response to concerns the government was not hearing directly from the palawa community — as opposed to organisations — in developing treaty and truth-telling.
