Te Raina discusses the difference of Australia to NZ, where Aboriginal sovereignty is not recognised by our legal system among other important differences #auspol #auslaw #IndigenousX #UluruStatement

Additional to this, Te Raina discusses the Treaty of Waitangi in it’s historical context, importantly highlighting that it took political & legal change from the 1970s onwards for the new relationship to take place #auspol #auslaw #IndigenousX #UluruStatement

Te Raina ends by highlighting just how important the reforms called for by the Uluru Statement are based on her own experience growing up under a treaty #auspol #auslaw #IndigenousX #UluruStatement
