Indigenous Australians are classed as the oldest living culture on earth, and have inhabited the continent for at least 65,000 years .

They have endured long chapters of colonial violence, including the theft of their lands, livelihoods, and even children.

They still face acute disadvantages in terms of health, wealth, education, and life expectancy compared to non-Indigenous Australians .

Last year's Voice to Parliament referendum - which asked whether Australia should recognise its first inhabitants in the constitution - was a resounding No'.

Thorpe ’s demand that King Charles give [Indigenous people] a treaty’ was misplaced.

Australia is one of the only Commonwealth countries to have never signed a treaty with its first inhabitants.

With a general election expected before mid-next year , both sides of politics have sought to move on swiftly from the debate.
