A landmark report outlines the path to multiple treaty agreements between the Northern Territory government and Indigenous people across the territory.
"My expectation is we would see a significant change in the levels of disadvantage if we're able to ensure those governments are supported and properly resourced to do the work."
To get there, the report recommends facilitating multiple treaties with First Nations groups, an overarching territory-wide agreement guiding treaty negotiations, and a First Nations forum of Indigenous organisations to endorse a treaty model. Key pieces of work, including the territory-wide agreement, ahead of in-depth treaty negotiations are expected to have concluded in three years."The Northern Territory government, in the briefings I've conducted, appreciates that the timing is right for this type of reform."Treaties struck between governments and Aboriginal groups are intended to address historical conflicts with various legally binding settlements.
