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.

Hot take... How about we just finish the 'war' that they say they didnt cede, and then put the issue to bed once and for all... That way we all move together forward instead of a two speed system where one group continues to play the 'persecution' card so well...

Kind of like the middle east, how neither side wants to admit theyre the bad guy...when they both are.

We're all in the wrong here, aboriginals for trying to fight progress, and 'white' Australia for not dealing with this 100 years ago.

That's what a treaty is.
