In short:

Victoria has become the first state or territory in Australia to introduce a treaty to its parliament.

The treaty promises to "reckon with the past" and empower Victoria's First Peoples.

What's next?

If the legislation is passed, it will make the First Peoples' Assembly, under a new authority called Gellung Warl, permanent.
