My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. On at least 34 occasions, the Prime Minister has committed to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full. In 2017, on the ABC's Q+A program, Noel Pearson was asked to explain the Uluru statement and expressly said there would need to be 'a framework agreement nationally'. This morning on Radio National the Prime Minister was asked on seven occasions whether he supported a treaty. He refused to give a direct answer. Does the government's commitment to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full include committing to a treaty?
