NSW Labor has announced if they win the upcoming election, they will start a process to for an Indigenous treaty.
The consultation between Aboriginal communities and the Government will cost the taxpayer $5 million.
Local member for Wallsend, Sonia Horney, wrote on Facebook:
“For over 250 years, NSW has had no treaty – NSW Labor will begin the process of changing this.
Committing $5 million to a 12-month consultation process with First Nations communities on a treaty process for NSW.
A process that will be led by First Nations communities and that’s already begun in most other states.
Taking a significant step on the path towards treaty and genuine reconciliation.”
