Treaty with Indigenous Australians NOW

Treaty with Indigenous Australians NOW

The issue

Dear Minister

Indigenous people, our First Nations people, need full and equal rights under the Australian Constitution and a Treaty on their terms. 
We are calling for the Australian parliament to: 

* Ratify The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and to put a Treaty with Indigenous nations on the agenda of Australia's parliament. 
 
* Open-heartedly approach Treaty talks as a way forward in the healing and progress of Australia's First people towards self-determination. 

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirms the minimum standards for the survival, dignity, security and well-being of Indigenous peoples worldwide and enshrines Indigenous peoples’ right to be different. The Declaration was adopted by the UN September 2007 and the Australian Government announced its support for the Declaration in 2009. 

Please listen to the will of the people and help Australia move forward as a great country with a history that doesn't reflect on a dark past, but enshrines human rights and dignities. 

With Thanks.
