Northern Territory Aboriginal Affairs Minister Selena Uibo has defended her government's decision to abolish the independent NT Treaty Commission and says it remains committed to a treaty with Aboriginal territorians, after it was accused of deliberately delaying the process.
In late December, the NT government released its response to the June 2022 Treaty Commission final report, saying the commission would be closed, its work taken up by a new unit within government and a new series of consultations held with Indigenous people across the territory.
