This is a historic moment and means that the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria will now be a permanent representative and decision-making body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here in Victoria.
The Assembly will form part of a new entity, Gellung Warl, which will also include an accountability arm and a truth-telling body.
