Treaty

Kat THEOPHANOUS (Northcote) (09:57): Yesterday in this Parliament history was made again with the introduction of the statewide treaty – the first in the nation. Treaty will establish Gellung Warl to give First Peoples a direct say in their services and initiatives. It will strengthen truth-telling beyond Yoorrook and embed our shared history in every Victorian school. From a premiership flag that lifts community pride, to a hub that empowers the next generation, to a treaty that reshapes our future, this is Victoria at its best. This is a historic moment. This is how we move forward together.
