00:00It was meant to kick-start the treaty process in SA, but seven years after the state government
00:08and Narungga Nation signed the historic Boothra agreement, communities are still waiting for
00:14treaty.
00:15I would say the lack of progress or the complete absence of any progress that I've
00:21heard about is disappointing.
00:24Labor won the last state election, promising to spend more than $2 million to restart the
00:29treaty process after it was scrapped under the former Liberal government.
00:33While SA now has a voice to parliament, the government is yet to start formally consulting
00:38on treaty.
00:39It seems that the government is taking a cautious approach to where they're going with
00:45treaty and it may be a political issue now.
00:51We will go at the pace that gives us the best result and brings along Aboriginal people.
00:56IMR says the government has started to consider treaty models, but it doesn't want a rush
01:01consultation.
01:03There are some elements of the Aboriginal leadership, a bit of fatigue, wanting a bit of a rest before
01:09re-engaging, so that of course we will respect.
01:13Our community leaders have not given me any indication that they're fatigued and are apathetic to being able to progress any negotiations.
01:25Melissa Clarke says treaty is needed sooner rather than later.
01:29Treaty with First Nations people here in South Australia can offer more stability.
01:36Treaty is the next step to restore balance.
01:40And meet the requests of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
