The state has become the only jurisdiction in the entire country not to have started some kind of treaty process with its First Nations peoples.
Ms Coe said that government's intractability was not only a local matter, but had national ramifications for the progress of treaties and the Voice to Parliament."It also accords us the right to start our own process of mapping out our own representation so that, when the Voice is passed, we are working efficiently with that process."
“The NSW government supports in principle the Australian government’s work to enshrine an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the constitution.”The NSW Greens have a policy of working towards developing a treaty with the state's First Nations people. However the end result is not certain, and treaty advocates fear if the Perrottet government prevails, the process in the state will be severly hindered.
