14.01.2022 Today the Premier tabled the Path to Treaty Report and our Statement of Commitment, accepting the recommendations for Treaty with First Nations Queenslanders. ...We will establish a Treaty Advancement Committee and a First Nations Institute to lead a process of truth telling, treaty making, and capability building to support First Nations people in this process. We know Queensland’s shared history has had lasting impacts, often passed on to the next generation.
