Independent Australia: A fair go for the First Nations: Australia needs a Treaty
https://independentaustralia.net/australia/australia-display/australia-n...
26 Mar 15: "A treaty is the first meaningful step in empowering Indigenous people to overcome the disappointment, disillusionment and suffering they have experienced over the last 227 years, said Kamileroi person Natalie Cromb at last Friday's Redfern forum. WHEN I WAS ASKED to speak at the forum ‘First Nations Women Speak for Treaty’  held at Redfern Community Centre, I considered the questions that are usually pondered: what is a treaty, why would anyone want a treaty and how do we get a treaty? ...

26 Mar 15: "The Sydney Peace Foundation recognises the fundamental rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination on the principles of peace with justice. ... At a recent public forum organised by Stop the Intervention Collective Sydney to mark the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination at which Senior Alyawarr/Arrente woman Rosalie Kunoth-Monks spoke along with other Aboriginal leaders in support of a treaty between Indigenous peoples and the Australian government, which would guarantee the right to self-determination. We support this call."

18 Aug 14: "The message from very many Aboriginal Peoples in Australia to the Australian Government is that the time is long overdue for genuine negotiation on treaties."
"Aboriginal Peoples of Australia have been waiting for more than 200 years for formal and binding agreements with Government. They want the opportunity to take control over their lives and to determine their futures through legal agreements, compacts, covenants or treaties established in law and enforceable through the courts."

10 Mar 14: "Let’s Talk Treaty panelists include, Wayne Butcher, Monica Morgan, Warren Mundine & Nicole Watson, hosted by Tiga Bayles."
"We all know Yothu Yindi’s hit song Treaty. But what is Treaty? When it comes to relations between Indigenous peoples and colonial powers, treaties are simply formal agreements that set down the terms and conditions by which two or more groups can coexist. The British Empire signed treaties with many of the tribes of Americas, and the Maori of New Zealand. But no treaty was ever signed with the First Nations here."
