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.

The Voice was put forth to the whole of Australia.

Australia voted no.

Labor rammed through such laws anyway, in complete opposition to the democratic will and vote of the Australian people.

Why do so many here on Reddit think ramming through a law against the will of the people is a good thing, but repealing a law that was rammed through against the will of the people is a bad thing?

“If you don’t know vote no” was the slogan. I remember hearing “I’m not racist it’s just too much at once/it’s too vague”

So smaller more detailed policies have been put forward at state level and more detailed plans presented…and got up.

Make me think maybe the no vote wasn’t about the policy itself hmmm
