Negotiating Treaties: The Role of the First Peoples Assembly

The call for Treaty in this country stems as far back as European settlement. 

Now, the Victorian government has started negotiations in what will be the first time a state or federal government in Australia has sat down with Aboriginal people on equal footing to reach Treaty.

But in the wake of the failed referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, the Victorian opposition has withdrawn support for the process, raising concerns Victoria’s Treaty process could be derailed after already coming so far.

Today, Yorta-Yorta journalist and broadcaster Daniel James on what this moment means for Treaty, Truth and self-determination.
