Victoria's Labor government rammed through a divisive Indigenous Treaty despite clear voter opposition, with 54% rejecting the Voice referendum and only 37% supporting treaty according to polling. This expensive new bureaucracy will cost taxpayers $206 million while creating a two-tiered government system that divides Victorians by race.
Victoria's groundbreaking Treaty represents genuine progress built on truth, respect and trust with the world's oldest continuous culture. This historic legislation empowers Aboriginal communities as experts on their own affairs, creating practical pathways to close the gap and heal past injustices for all Victorians.
