JOINT STATEMENT
Queensland’s journey towards a new future between First Nation’s people and all Queenslanders has taken the next step with two Co-Chairs and members of Queensland’s first Treaty Advancement Committee formalised.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Treaty Advancement Committee would continue the momentum of the Path to Treaty process, develop options and provide independent advice on how to progress treaty-making for all Queenslanders.
“Queensland has achieved many great things but as part of that, we need to acknowledge the past,” the Premier said.
“Our story began more than 60,000 years ago with our First Nations Peoples. Path to Treaty is about acknowledging the past and plotting a way forward for a new future between First Nation’s peoples and all Queenslanders.”

Hayley Doyle hated school.
While her peers attended class and completed their homework, the Ghungalu and Mununjali student counted down the days until she could leave.
The self-confessed troublemaker planned to drop out after year 10 but a traineeship changed her mind.
As students across Australia head back to the classroom, the 21-year-old wants to remind young people support is always available and they can achieve anything they put their minds to.
