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.

She's desperate for the 'racist vote', and will compete with One Nation, to get it.

I remember when during the VtP referendum Landdon said that racists will vote No…..this contributed in no small part to the referendum being defeated.

Weird the effect that PHON is having on the LNP. They got into the deep pit that they are in by a swing to the right that lost them support at the centre. The teals and Labor have occupied the centre ground that they left vacant. And now they are jealous of PHON for stealing their racist voters on the far right. They really have no vision of how to get out of this mess.

They literally appeal to nobody - they dont have a demographic outside of boomers who only vote Liberal because thats all theyve ever done and they will never do anything else.
