Australia’s first ever Treaty is one step closer after being passed in Victoria’s Lower House in state parliament.   

It’s a crucial step in a lengthy process that’s involved truth-telling, advocacy and community consultation.

Charles Darwin University PhD candidate, Sam Williams explains how Northern Territory Elders are using 3-D technology to connect with younger generations.
And .. James Cook University Associate Professor, Conrad Hoskin talks about groundbreaking discoveries in the Torres Strait.
