The government says it has been consulting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about next steps in addressing yawning gaps in Indigenous life expectancy, social and educational outcomes, and health issues.“Treaty process is undergoing at the various states and that’s appropriate. With regard to Makarrata, we’re continuing to consult on those issues,” Albanese told Guardian Australia.
Strong advocates for the referendum have privately questioned why the government hasn’t made faster progress on a post-voice agenda after the voice defeat. “The need for recognition in our own country, representation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander involvement in the development of laws and policies made about us, remains as urgent as ever.”
“This is a country that still needs to reconcile with itself, and find itself. That’s what a Makarrata commission would do. It continues to be important.”
