A treaty between First Nations peoples and Queensland is closer to reality as proposed laws are introduced to the state's parliament.
A five-member Truth and Healing Inquiry and a First Nations Treaty Institute are the centrepieces of the legislation tabled by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Wednesday.
"One of the first orders of business for this parliament 163 years ago was the Occupation of Crown Lands Bill, to address what one member described as the 'serious collision' between squatters and Aboriginals," Ms Palaszczuk told parliament.
