    Greens senator from Western Australia, Dorinda Cox, will reintroduce her bill for a Truth and Justice Commission later in the year.

    She said she hoped federal Labor would support it.

    "Labor do have the ability, it's only going to take courage," Senator Cox told the ABC's Indigenous Affairs Team.

    "The failed Voice referendum meant that we needed to pivot into a new chapter, and truth-telling and treaty are the new chapter.

    "If Labor is really serious about supporting First Nations rights … they will deliver on those issues.

    "I hope they would be brave enough."

    a bc loonk.

    Is it yet timely? I don't think so. Albanese has said he won't be pursuing the Voice and this is part of the Voice and Treaty proposition.

    will he recant and back the bill? anything is possible.

    we had certainly under the Libs. they would say No! resoundingly to any proposal to extend reconciliation to further steps on truth telling. they prefer the Truth to be buried, cremated and dead.... particularly Aboriginal Truth.

    would Senator Jacinta Price back the Bill? thats a question her supporters should answer.

    but lets us try to avoid such derogatory and racist language as have resulted from the hatred of Aboriginal people.

    keep to HC TOUs pls.
