The Vic Gov Agreed To Introduce A Treaty ‘Umpire’ To Help Negotiations On First Nations Issues

A Treaty Authority that sits outside of the government will be introduced in Victoria to essentially “umpire” negotiations between Traditional Owners and the Victorian Government. This new legislation has been seen as “decolonisation in action” by the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and a big win for First Peoples in Victoria. The agreement made between the government and the First People’s Assembly will result in an independent Treaty Authority body appointed by and made up of First Peoples. This group will help with ongoing Treaty negotiations in Victoria and will be guided by Aboriginal lore, law and authority.
