Part 1: Victoria’s historic treaty

<p>When Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan introduced the state's treaty bill into parliament, she said it would pave the way for a formal apology, the introduction of Aboriginal truth-telling into the school curriculum, and a better future for Indigenous Australians in the state.</p> <p>The treaty is the culmination of almost a decade of work that established the First Peoples&rsquo; Assembly &ndash; which led the negotiations &ndash; and delivers on &lsquo;Voice, Treaty and Truth&rsquo;, making Victoria the first state in the country to do so.</p> <p>Now, that treaty is in its next phase. This week, we'll have the election results of who will sit on the next <em>First Peoples&rsquo; Assembly</em> &ndash; and tomorrow, the process of setting up the delegation that will actually decide what the treaty will look like begins.</p> <p>Today, the co-chairs of the&nbsp;<em>First Peoples&rsquo; Assembly</em>, Ngarra Murray and Rueben Berg, on what they hope Victoria&rsquo;s treaty will deliver &ndash; and how its success will be measured.</p> <p>This is part one of a two-part episode that first aired in September 2025.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you enjoy&nbsp;<em>7am</em>, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at <a href="http://7ampodcast.com.au/support">7ampodcast.com.au/support</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Co-Chairs of the <em>First Peoples&rsquo; Assembly of Victoria</em>, Ngarra Murray and Rueben Berg.</p> <p><strong>Photo:&nbsp;</strong>AAP Image/Pool, Justin McManus</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
