‘Woken up’: Victorian Liberals oppose ‘terrible treaty’

Former Victorian Liberal MP Tim Smith says he is pleased to see the Victorian Liberals and National Coalition have decided to “oppose this terrible treaty”. The Former Victorian Liberal’s comments come after Victoria’s opposition dropped their support for the Indigenous treaty, having previously supported the bill to begin the treaty process back in 2022. Mr Smith says, post the Voice campaign the Victorian Liberals and Nationals have “woken up” to the idea that Australians “don’t want to be divided by race”. “We’re all Australians,” Mr Smith told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “You can’t make a treaty with your own people.”
