Show Notes
Victorias First Peoples Assembly holds inaugural elections for Gellung Warl, a significant step following the states treaty with traditional owners. Seventy candidates, including Gunnai Gunditjmara man Andrew Thorpe and Yorta Yortas Jarvis Atkinson, are vying for seats across five regions. The statutory group, unlike others in Australia, wont make laws but will advise ministers, question them on First Nations issues, and push reforms. The Liberals, however, plan to scrap the treaty if they win the state election. Voting begins March 21st and ends April 12th, with Gellung Warl starting work in May, potentially reshaping Victorias relationship with its original owners.
