The Opposition Leader claimed treaty negotiations would just “see rich lawyers in Sydney and Melbourne get richer”. “The Prime Minister’s talking about treaties after the Voice which will go on for between 20 and 30 years – cost billions of dollars,” he said. “The situation will only get worse for those Indigenous Australians in need of support.”
