Leeanne Enoch - the first Indigenous woman elected to Queensland's parliament - will work towards a treaty in a new portfolio of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partnerships. Queensland's colonial past is to be examined by a Truth-telling inquiry likely to be undertaken over a three-year period.
Asked if the referedum result would change how the Queensland government would approach the path to treaty, Ms Scanlon said: "I think they are vastly different things.
"I think Australians understand the difference between treaty and...voice."
"We are a generous nation. And we extend our hearts and our hand to all," she said.
"This wasn't the right way. I acknowledge the strong feedback.
"But that won't stop our efforts to bring justice, reconciliation and material improvement to the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."
