Aboriginal Cultural Rights and School Bus Travel
The Victorian Charter of Human Rights section 19(2) explains Aboriginal cultural rights here, https://www.humanrights.vic.gov.au/resources/aboriginal-cultural-rights/
This says Aboriginal people hold distinct cultural rights and must not be denied the right to:
- enjoy their identity and culture;
- maintain and use their language;
- maintain their kinship ties; and
- maintain their distinctive spiritual, material and economic relationship with the land and waters and other resources with which they have a connection under traditional laws and customs.
None of this creates any issues with transport on a school bus. Children are welcome to enjoy their identity, culture and language while complying with safe travel requirements.
