Funded Activity Summary

Public Law Implications of Treaty Between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians. Australia is the only Commonwealth country that has never signed an official treaty with its Indigenous peoples. It is not surprising then that a treaty between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians has been cited as a goal of the reconciliation process by bodies including the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. Unfortunately, there has been little academic examination of the merits or content of a treaty, or of how a treaty might be accommodated within Australia's constitutional structure. With the benefit of comparative analysis, this project will provide a scholarly investigation of the role that a treaty could play under Australian law.
