Summary
Indigenous leaders across the country welcomed Victoria’s treaty. The legislation enshrines a democratically elected body for First Peoples, called Gellung Warl, that will be consulted on laws and policies affecting Indigenous communities. Now there are calls for other states and territories to use the Victorian example as a model to establish their own treaties. But there’s also pushback – with critics calling it costly and divisive in claims that echo The Voice debate – and with state and territory leaders across the country abandoning previous promises and commitments. Today, writer and 7am co-host Daniel James on whether Victoria’s treaty marks a turning point or an anomaly. This is part two of a two-part episode that first aired in September 2025.
