"It's for those people, our ancestors, that's why it's so significant, so important that we need to get more land."
"It's a continual fight to the government from us to say, 'come on, we need more of our land back',"Ms Spotswood said.
"It's our land, and it should be returned to us."
"The Aboriginal Lands Amendment Bill will not progress at this stage as we seek to gain consensus across the parliament and Aboriginal people,"a government spokesperson said.
"After a while, I sort of got past my own anxieties and just jumped in,"he said.
"We are committed to working respectfully with all Tasmanians on this important journey and we will continue working with all Tasmanian Aboriginal people to deliver better outcomes for them and their families right across the state."
