AMENDED MOTION

Mr ANDREW: I give notice that I will move—
That this House:

1. Notes that nearly 70 percent of Queenslanders voted ‘No’ in the Federal ‘Voice’ referendum – the highest ‘no’ vote of any state or territory in the country.
2. Notes that the Government currently holds no mandate from the Queensland people for negotiating or entering into any binding Treaties, with groups appointed to represent Queensland’s Tribal Peoples.
3. Calls on the government to immediately refocus its time, energy and resources, on helping vulnerable Queensland households, families and workers, who are faced with one of the worst cost-of-living crises in the State’s history.
