Elections are underway in Victoria to choose First Peoples Assembly members. These members will sit opposite the Andrews Government to negotiate the terms of a blanket Treaty covering the State.
Among the issues raised by candidates are:- A universal income for indigenous elders. Reserved seats in State Parliament, and Co Ownership of renewable energy infrastructure.
Two cousins of Federal Senator Lidia Thorpe are seeking to be elected to the State's First Peoples Assembly. Also, Marjorie Thorpe, mother of Lidia is also running as a candidate.
The Andrews Government has already committed to give $65,000,000.00 to negotiations with a promise of more if required.
This cannot be good for the other 99% of the Victorian population.
