Bob Hawke promised a treaty in 1988. Why did it fail? | ABC News

Описание: In the debate over the Voice to Parliament, many have wondered what either a yes or no vote would mean for the Aboriginal rights movement, and particularly the push for a treaty.

No more so than in the Northern Territory, where one in four people are Indigenous, compared to about three percent of the general Australian population.

The Territory has long been at the forefront of the rights movement, from land rights to workers rights to the push for a treaty.

More than three decades after that push failed, those who drove it are still waiting and still fighting to achieve real change.
