Treaty Wins Award Amid Political Pushback | Australia News
Description
Victoria’s groundbreaking treaty has just won a major human rights award — the Voltaire Prize from Liberty Victoria — hailed as one of the most significant moments in Australian history since invasion. The treaty, finalized in late 2025, created Gellung Warl, an independent body with power to hold government accountable and embed First Peoples’ expertise into policy. While celebrated by rights advocates as a historic shift in power and representation, it’s now under fire from opposition parties vowing to scrap it ahead of the election, calling it bureaucratic excess — a stark contrast to the recognition it’s receiving from those who see it as a path to true reconciliation and justice.
