Summary
Unlike Canada's Indians and New Zealand's Maoris, Australia's Aborigines have no treaty with the colonising power. The people were simply dispossessed with shocking results. But with the reconciliation movement growing rapidly, the case for a treaty has been placed firmly on the national agenda. In this well-balanced program we look at the nature of treaties, the movement for a treaty since the 1980s, the experience overseas, and the case for and against a treaty in Australia today
