Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says there are “no negotiations” underway for a treaty with First Nations people with the federal government but they are underway at a state level.
‘No negotiations’ underway for treaty by federal government: Anthony Albanese
The Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales have all committed to start or have started a treaty process.
“I note that one of the things we have said about the referendum is that we respect the outcome,” Mr Albanese said during Question Time on Monday.
“Prior to October the 14th, I stood at this dispatch box and they were trying to say that what people were voting on was treaty.
“I indicated … that wasn’t what people were voting on, that treaty negotiations were underway at state level, not at federal level.
“There is no federal negotiations underway by the federal government.”
