The Tasmanian government s commitment to a time frame for a truth-telling and a treaty with the state s palawa people has been welcomed by prominent figures in the community.
Former governor Kate Warner has been tasked to provide a report by October on options for a pathway to a treaty with the palawa.
Palawa Elder and Co-Chair of the Tasmanian Regional Communities Alliance (TRACA) Rodney Dillon said it s a positive step. A treaty needs to be a genuine commitment of living together in this country, he told NITV News. How are we going to get along for the next 200 years? Because we haven t got along well in the last 200, he said.

Things are hopping for the staff at The Trustees of Reservations. One of the remarkable things about the organization is how much they have been able to keep things going over the past year or so. Here on-Island, you will find their wide selection of sites to visit, each with its own distinct flavor: bit.ly/3vf8Blg. You can visit the locations on your own, or join one of their many programs.
Team Salter takes Inaugural Combined Clubs Women s Keelboat Regatta crown by Jane Austin 25 Apr 09:12 UTC 24 April 2021
Skipper Kirsty Salter, Amelia Catt, Lizzi Rountree and Amy Potter, representing the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, won the inaugural Combined Clubs Women s Keelboat Regatta in Hobart on Saturday.
The unpredictable River Derwent kept Race Officer Ian Ross and the 48 female sailors on their toes with big wind shifts throughout the day, with the heaviest conditions kicking in from the south west at 15+ knots for the Gold and Silver Fleet finals.
Salter was expected to do well in the event and didn t disappoint, starting with a second place in the first flight of the Yellow Fleet Qualifier. A frustrating sixth in the next flight put the team on notice but a second in the final flight saw them sneak through to the Gold Fleet final on 10 points.
