Two steps forward, one step back on Aboriginal treaties in Australia.

This week, two governments in Australia have taken steps towards negotiating treaties with the native Aboriginal people:

Victorian Parliament votes on law to negotiate Australia's first Aboriginal treaty

Indigenous treaty a step closer after Northern Territory government makes historic pledge

Meanwhile, one government says no:

South Australia government decides not to go ahead with Aboriginal treaties

It's interesting that the two governments moving forwards are Labor Party governments, while the one that's stopping the process is a newly elected Liberal Party government. It's hard not to draw the conclusion that this is a politically partisan issue.
