Treaty would recognise the sovereignty of the First Nations People over their land and enshrine the right of self-determination which was promised to them when Australia ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 40 years ago.

Before the speakers started, a 8-minute Treaty video by 'concerned Australians' was shown, followed by a 2-minute video clip about Malcolm Fraser, who sadly passed away the morning of 20 March 2015.
The message from very many Aboriginal Peoples in Australia to the Australian Government is that the time is long overdue for genuine negotiation on treaties.
Rt. Hon. Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL 1930 - 2015
20 March 2015
... We are most grateful to him for the support he gave to the Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory over the last eight difficult years. He was a man of integrity who recognised injustice and was prepared to speak out for change. ...
'concerned Australians' - http://www.concernedaustralians.com.au/
One of the speakers, Brenda Croft organised the 45th Anniversary Commemoration of the Wave Hill Walk-off in 2011, which former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser sent a video message to. Brenda shared the video clip at the forum, as a reminder of what great leaders like Malcolm Fraser can contribute to the cause for Aboriginal rights and recognition.

GLW - Aboriginal women on why Australia needs a treaty - 9 April 2015
...Natalie Cromb, a Gamileraay woman, said that a treaty “would help the Australian government keep its word to the Aboriginal people”...Amala Groom, a Wiradjuri woman and founding member of Aboriginal Rights Coalition (ARC) and STICS, noted that a treaty “would recognise the sovereignty of the First Nations over their land”, and secure the right of self-determination which was promised when Australia ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 40 years ago. ...
Brenda Croft, a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudpurra artist, praised the massive protests against WA community closures. “They say this is about ‘remote’ communities — but these communities are living on their ancestral land. It is we in the cities who are remote from them.” ...
[Rosalie Kunoth-Monks] said a “belief in humanity” is needed for treaty recognition to work, and positive changes can be achieved through people power and unity of both black and white Australians. ...

Independent Australia - A fair go for the First Nations: Australia needs a Treaty - 26 March 2015
A treaty is the first meaningful step in empowering Indigenous people to overcome the disappointment, disillusionment and suffering they have experienced over the last 227 years, said Kamileroi person Natalie Cromb at last Friday's Redfern forum....
A fair go cannot be achieved without a Treaty.
A Treaty would be the basis upon which the sovereign Indigenous people of Australia and the Government could negotiate the terms of rights to land, minerals and resources and the self-governing of communities. It would be a binding agreement that would have sanctions to deter breaches of the terms of the treaty.
Whilst I advocate for treaty, I am not flippant in thinking that getting a treaty is going to be easy, because it is the least palatable option for governments as it holds them to a set of obligations that they ordinarily would not live up to.
Treaty is essential, because 227 years after colonisation we remain at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid; because after 227 years children are still being removed arbitrarily from Aboriginal families; because after 227 years racism remains rife in society and none more so against Aboriginal people; because, after 227 years, we are still being subjected to cruel punishments, including water being switched off, communities being closed, and being forced into work programs that provide less than the minimum wage and then having to buy groceries in government run shops that charge $6 for a kilo of flour.
To arbitrarily decide the fate of our people without our consultation and agreement will always be met with resistance....

Eureka Street - Coalition stirs the ghost of Jimmie Blacksmith - 11 Dec 2013
... [on 99-year leases] This is not a partisan issue. As Fraser pointed out, it continues a tendency towards government interventions (such as the Intervention and its euphemistically dubbed offspring, Stronger Futures) from successive governments of both sides, that eschew consultation in favour of paternalism. This is inherently disempowering and marginalising. And the fly-in, fly-out approach negates the possibility of genuine informed consent by the signatories....

'concerned Australians'- 99 year leases forum - 27 Nov 2013
The government is asking some Aboriginal communities to agree to 99-year township leases. Many people are concerned about the haste of this process, the lack of community consultation and the general effect of these leases on the Aboriginal communities.
This video shows Rosalie Kunoth-Monks OAM in conversation with Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL PC, Frank Vincent AO QC and Alastair Nicholson RFD AO QC (by Video) at Victoria University on 27 Nov 2013. The forum was facilitated by Jeff McMullen.

'concerned Australians' - Walk With Us - What Was Said by Malcolm Fraser - Page 51
about the Intervention:
“The Intervention was paternalistic and demeaning to Aboriginal people.”
about Income Management:
“There is an absence of equality and respect, which is especially demonstrated by the continuing policies of income management. I can imagine no policy more demeaning to any person.”
about Leases over Aboriginal Land:
“[The communities] have to sign five year, then 40 year leases which is really losing control.”
about Health, Education and Housing:
“and there continues to be gross underinvestment in health, education and housing.”
about Reinstatement of the Racial Discrimination Act:
“The Federal Government misled Australians when it ended the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act, but maintained discriminatory elements of the Intervention. It was a pretence and the Parliament, I believe, knows it was a pretence.”
