Cumberland Council ‘so far outside their jurisdiction’ with Indigenous treaty push

Sky News host Liz Storer says the Cumberland Council has decided to take treaty matters “into its own hands”. Cumberland Council in Western Sydney has been criticised for attempting to push through an Indigenous treaty in a meeting with no notice to its councillors whatsoever. “Would it be a Late Debate episode without us bringing to your attention yet another council acting so far outside of their jurisdiction it is eye-watering?” Ms Storer said. “The area of Cumberland voted ‘No’ to the Voice vote that we had last year, as did the vast majority of Australians. “And yet, they are having this shoved down their throat – what gives?”
