Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Victorias Premier, Jacinta Allan, to deliver historic apology to Aboriginal people in state parliament, marking a significant step in the statewide treaty process. This treaty, recommended by the Yoorrook Justice Commission, aims to correct historical wrongs and establish a new relationship between First Peoples and the government. The treaty includes measures like truth-telling in schools, renaming offensive geographic features, and ensuring new laws are compatible with the treaty. A public celebration is scheduled to mark the official start of the treaty, featuring award-winning artists like Baker Boy and Missy Higgins. However, the Victorian coalition has expressed opposition to the treaty and plans to repeal the enabling legislation if they win the next state election.
