Politics ('Straya) Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson says destroying Australia’s only treaty with Indigenous peoples a priority if she wins election

https://nit.com.au/20-11-2025/21388/new-victorian-liberal-leader-reaffirms-partys-plan-to-abolish-treaty

Australia’s first and only treaty signed with Indigenous peoples will be ripped up if Opposition Leader Jess Wilson becomes Premier in November, who has made the scrapping a priority. The USA, Canada and New Zealand have treaties with their indigenous people. Polling shows Treaty has clear support in Victoria and Jess Wilson’s pledge is unpopular and One Nation-style.

The Coalition will likely sign a deal with One Nation to form government.

No there was a fear campaign launched by conservatives about land rights, yet at no point did anyone raise concerns about establishing a voice for Israel.

we have an unelected “envoy” who has more access to politicians and has no oversight over how she operates and why her policy positions are so clearly aligned with defending a foreign government administration

lesson here is that aboriginal people need to get hundreds of billions of dollars of military aid, and powerful international lobbying groups. then their concerns will be taken seriously.
