The National Treaty Alliance (NTA) is an unincorporated association of First Peoples and their supporters who believe in the development of a treaty between Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples and non-Aboriginal Australia as the best way forward in accommodating the needs of all Australians in the future. It aims to

1) Elevate the discussion about Makarata and Treaty to the top priority in the context of the Albanese Government’s commitment to implement the “Uluru Statement’ in full.

2) Encourage genuine discussion and debate in initially the Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples Community about the content and form of a Treaty with the Aboriginal & Torres St Islander peoples that delivers real justice in legal. cultural and social terms.

3) Ensure broad-based Indigenous Community negotiations occur concerning any options that that are put forward to the Australian Parliament.

4) Any consensus position on behalf of Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples advanced to government or referendum should have the “full. Informed and prior consent” of Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples People as defined by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007 and be consistent with the treaty principles contained within that document.

5) Publish, Advertise and in other ways promote alternatives to the current “Voice” proposals to Federal Parliament including

a) Lobbying Political Parties and individual politicians to support NTA proposals

b) Achieving maximum media coverage of enunciated positions

c) Making alliances with Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples Organisations and Communities around the country

d) Develop relationships with other organisations that may support the position of the NTA.

e) Reaching out to the International Community for support for Aboriginal & Torres St Islander Peoples causes.

6) Attract financial support to allow the NTA to achieve its objectives. #treaty #treatynow #firstnation #aboriginal
