Palaszczuk’s speech heavily referenced historian Henry Reynolds, whom she said opened her eyes to “very troubling matters in law” that were “buried in Australia’s past” that she “had not read or even heard of at school in Australia”. Treaty advancement co-chair and Ghungalu man Mick Gooda spoke about being “on the right side of history”, promising a treaty process that would involve community-led negotiations.
“The only people you’ll hear me talk about is Ghungalu people,” he said. “We’ve taken this view that community have got to negotiate treaty.”
