My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. The Minister for Education today said it was 'rubbish' and 'a lie' that some of the people who helped design the Voice are seeking reparations through treaty. But Voice architect Professor Megan Davis has written:

Treaties are about reparations for past injustices … How can these things be excluded?

…   …   …

… a Voice to Parliament is the first step, and treaty-making follows.

Minister, who is right, the Minister for Education or one of the members of your First Nations Referendum Working Group?
