Co-chair of truth and treaty group, Aaron Fa’Aoso, says he remains confident after meeting government representatives on Friday.
Barrister and former Acting Northern Territory Treaty Commissioner Tony McAvoy SC said the treaty process did not legally need bipartisan support to proceed.
Fa’Aoso said the voice and treaty were “two different mechanisms”.
“They’re two different processes and one can’t be compared to the other.
Fa’Aoso said the government had confirmed it would release expressions of interest soon, as planned, for two key bodies – a treaty council, and a board of inquiry to conduct a truth telling and healing process.
