From National Indigenous Times
On Thursday, a significant day in Queensland’s history was marked as the Path to Treaty Act 2023 was officially passed by the Queensland Parliament.
The Act was passed during the Far North Queensland Regional Parliamentary Sitting and notes a historic moment for both the state and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Interim Truth and Treaty Body (ITTB), appointed in August 2022, played a vital role in the development of the Path to Treaty Act 2023, and in advancing the Truth and Treaty process during their tenure.
Professor Michael Lavarch AO, a member of the ITTB Board and a key contributor to the drafting of the Act, has highlighted that it is the first of its kind in Queensland and has prioritised the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by incorporating relevant clauses into the Act.
“This is why the passing of the Path to Treaty Act 2023 is such an extraordinary occasion—it ensures First Nations peoples have the freedom and power to make decisions and craft solutions on their own terms,” said Mr Lavarch.
“We’ve certainly come a long way since the Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act in 1897, which did not allow this freedom of rights.”
The Path to Treaty Act in 2023 in Queensland is grounded in the UN Declaration to the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and identifies key bodies to be appointed to advance the truth-telling and healing process and to prepare communities for treaty negotiations.
The Act establishes the Truth Telling and Healing Inquiry to conduct the formal process of truth-telling and healing, and the First Nations Treaty Institute and its Council to oversee development of treating with First Nations parties.
To facilitate this the ITTB are leading community engagement with communities across the State to seek input on establishing these key structures.
Ms Cheryl Buchanan and Sallyanne Atkinson AO, ITTB co-chairs, said it was important we get the next steps right to set a firm foundation to progress this work.
“Generosity of spirit needs to occur for treaty to be beneficial and for our future generations to live a good life,” said Ms Buchanan.
“We all have anger and some type of hurt we carry which will come out in the truth telling process—we need to capture that energy and direct it in a positive way that we can create the change that is well overdue in Queensland. Our time for truth telling, our time for treaty is now.”
Consultations with First Nations communities will help shape the governance and selection of the Institute and its Council, with the aim of ensuring authenticity and inclusivity. This approach recognises the diverse needs and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Queensland and supports effective truth-telling, healing, and treaty negotiations.
The ITTB will conduct Community Yarning sessions until November 2023 and prepare a report with recommendations on establishing structures based on the community’s input. The report will be submitted to the Minister for Disability Services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Craig Crawford.
“We know there is a willingness for people to hear and get more involved in the Truth and Treaty discussions, and our Community Yarning sessions open up this dialogue to include community perspectives and aspirations into the structures that will take this historic work forward,” said Ms Atkinson.
The ITTB would like to invite community members to come along to an event, have a yarn, some lunch, and share their views on how we can progress Truth and Treaty in Queensland. More information can be found here.

The truth is that there is an age restriction on this kind of talk. If you were born after a certain time, then you shouldn’t have to listen as if you are guilty. What I am really saying is that some of us just have the wrong skin color. I don’t want to hear about that being my crime for if I was even in existence I was actually thousands of miles outside of the country like many others. What I do know is that I pay taxes. A portion of that has already gone to compensation as if I could even be guilty. Why don’t we just admit that we are all great people and move on!? Can we at least admit that the side that is being talked down was actually the side that brought writing and infrastructure never mind my taxes? I would rather have one people moving onwards and upwards than have to tell these home truths.

isaac731 – “Folks, there is no point even debating any of this. Queensland is lost. ”
You are very likely 100% correct – Queensland is lost.
Everything is already in place to scam us dumbed down fools.
The only way to stop any of the rot from setting in any further is to take back our Queensland governments, state and local.
The chances of that happening at this time is about zero. The majority of the Queensland sheeple, appear to be reasonably happy with following the main stream media and governments narratives and dictates.
It would not surprise me if the final decisions about the treaty and all that is attached to it, has already been drafted and the process to put it into place and operation, is just a routine part of another con job.
Yes, for sure, “no point debating any of this” “Queensland is lost” better to put energy and time into getting our governments back into the hands of the people. Don’t do that, then we are wasting our time with debating (especially in this case) what is very likely already set in stone.

Folks, there is no point even debating any of this. Queensland is lost. We are seeing the Hegelian dialectic in play, but this time 5 steps forward and no steps backwards. The only way out is a complete rejection of all of this and go back to laws as they stood in 1973. But that will never happen with the Atheistic society we have, unless the JSFG from the City of Seven Hills steps in.

Recently I discussed the matter of using the words First Nations with a fellow commentator (who I respect and 99% agree with) I suggested that whether we like it or not the words are now in common use.
Example below:
From: Queensland Path to Treaty Bill 2023
(Should be same in the just passed Act.)
Part 2 First Nations Treaty Institute
Division 1 Establishment
S9 Establishment
The First Nations Treaty Institute is established.
S10 Legal status
The Treaty Institute—
(a) is a body corporate; and
(b) may sue and be sued in its corporate name.
I am not looking to prove my point, just warning that, whether we like it or not, First Nations will be / is used to establish a First Nations and a Second Nations (or similar meaning word(s)) a definite division of Australians into them and us.
So far this is at state corporate government level, wait till it goes federal, will be very interesting.
Of course as the UN already runs all of our local corporate governments, be ready for First Nations to have their hands out and control there as well.
Certainly is a New World Order. Our part in it (for the survivors) will for sure be: we will own nothing and be happy – I am not sure about the happy part.

Just a small issue of confusion remedied… The English word “truth” as presented to Aboriginal people, translates as a “how I feel” story, not the evidence-based concept we understand.
In Aboriginal languages, there is most definitely a word for ‘truth’ but its application does not imply inarguable evidence. In fact, the last thing any Aboriginal wants to hear when presenting their version of the ‘truth’, is evidence to the contrary. This is why the professional liars organising truth-telling commence with “yarning sessions”, to crystalise speculation as later-on gospel “truth”.
Those of you who know me would be aware I am on the Aboriginal side of land rights, traditional law and recognition of languages, but I am extremely allergic to lies. From anyone.

Nice, well done UN, well done WEFers, and the many others under the UN umbrella.
This and the VOICE will guarantee that there will be a them and us, as planned by the grubs,. This will end up with us owning nothing.
The aboriginals will end up being scammed of any land they now have, and will get in the near future.
Oops, I have already made it a them and us, and this is just the beginning of the rot that is now setting in.
Many have warned (for decades) that this was planned by the UN, with the assistance of entities such as the WEFers who are entrenched in governments, to push through legislation and changes to the Constitution.
Going to be quite a shock for most of the sheeple if/when it is all in full swing.
Sad that a great deal of violence may well be built into the plans.
Good luck, to both “sides.”

Kym said – “Truth telling should be just that, not some convenient version fit to suit a narrative.”
Damn right.
Part of the problem (just PART of it, mind you) seems to be the FACT that we have no “government”, just corporate structures owned by foreign billionaires infesting every level of governance across Australia.
That’s why creepy Bill loves AnAL so very very much that he came to visit him personally and very very PRIVATELY in Kirribilli house. Who knows WHAT mischievious shenanigans those two unlikely love-birds got up to in secret, out of the public eye and beyond any sovereign scrutiny?
And as for the fake “judiciary” – well kick me in the arse and call me a wombat, who would have thought? They actually believe that they OWN us – something so Orwellian that no-one would have believed it if a female magistrate hadn’t come out and plainly ASSERTED our status as THEIR “property” IN COURT…

Yes, folks, Australia has been hijacked by a foreign-owned corporation registered on the New York Stock Exchange, and (according to them) WE ARE NOW THEIR PROPERTY. Have been since around 1973, though they’ve never been so ASSERTIVE about it until now.
Maybe that’s why their private Gestapo armies of shit-for-brains hired Nazi psychopaths are so eager to beat up school girls and little old ladies – they’ve been waiting for this opportunity for DECADES, and now they can REALLY let loose. After all, who’s going to STOP them now?
Anyone thinking you can “vote” your way out of this – think again. Ever see a chicken negotiate her way out of the oven, AFTER she’s been plucked, gutted, stuffed and dressed? Me neither.

So it seems to me, things will get a whole lot more honest once we string about 100,000 treasonous genocidal arseholes up to lamp posts.
And / or fill a few thousand hectares of sunny fields with heads on pikes.
Either way suits me fine (just kidding – I favour the heads on pikes, not so much climbing involved).
And we can all get lots of fresh air and exercise when we dance in the streets and all take our top hats and canes to do a cabaret on their graves.

If they really want ‘Truth Telling’ when are they going to mention that our indigenous peoples are NOT the first to live on our great island?
They are, at best, the 2nd or even 3rd wave of peoples to call Australia home. The earlier peoples were genocided by those now here. Fact.
Truth telling should be just that, not some convenient version fit to suit a narrative.

With the passage of this Path to Treaty Act 2023, the Voice Referendum 2023 comes into focus as the centrepiece of what will be a complete raft of legislation that will comply Australia with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People.
Clearly the United [Communist] Nations looks to Black governance to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
This has nothing to do with rights for 3% of the Australian population that has supposedly been denied them. The 1967 Referendum interpreted our 1901 Constitution to mean that ‘Yes’ they are included in the constitution of the Australian people as defined by the 1901. And in the 1970s an entire industry was created to ensure that they have representation in gov’t with a Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and social infrastructure which serves their rights. The budget for that Industry is 4.5 billion annually from the Australian tax bas to 3% of the entire population to ensure their representation, health, education and welfare.
Now we have a Path to a ‘pay the rent’ Treaty for Whitey – as if this is not our country too.
This Interim committee has been set up along the lines of Mao’s struggle sessions for more Sorry Business. If the Aboriginal people have been treated so badly as to necessitate an ITTB for the Big Pineapple, then the Aboriginal Industry must be audited.
