Queensland's premier has vowed to accompany Traditional Owners to the United Kingdom if they wish to reclaim hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artefacts from the British Museum.

Parliament has been sitting in Cairns this week, and yesterday passed a "watershed bill" to set up a First Nations truth-telling and healing inquiry.
