Victoria nears treaty with First Peoples, creating advisory body to ensure laws address historical inequities.
Victoria is close to becoming Australia’s first state to sign a treaty with its First Peoples, establishing a democratically elected Aboriginal body to advise Parliament on laws affecting Indigenous communities.
The body will review legislation and require a treaty compatibility statement, ensuring policies consider impacts on Aboriginal people and aim to reduce colonial-era disadvantages.
Though it cannot block laws, the body promotes inclusion and accountability.
Indigenous leaders say the treaty fosters dignity and recognition, marking a shift from marginalization to meaningful participation in governance.
