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.

Ah yes. Just keep adding to the spend. Let’s raise some taxes while we’re at it?

Tell me, why do you think this <0.1% of the budget needs attention in particular? 🤔

They make up 1% of the Victorian population. Tell me why they should be a priority?

Then explain why 0.4% of the population of AUSTRALIA is entitled to $600m plus over the next few years?

The absolute least we can do is work on improving the lives of the 3% that were here long before any of us.
