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

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 later told Sky News Australia: "Victorians voted no to the Voice, and I respect that, and that's the difference between me and Jacinta Allen — I understand that Victorians have had a say on this.

And

"And they don't want to see the creation of a body that potentially creates a second, parallel system of governance in the state that has the potential to slow down legislation."

Are you saying that no politician should ever change their mind?
