Five months after LNP MPs voted in favour of the laws to set up a First Nations Treaty Institute and a truth-telling and healing inquiry, leader David Crisafulli has declared the path to treaty is "not the right way forward for Queensland".
maybe they should have had a look at that yes/no vote map posted here the other day. sure, most of the Yes was in NT, but quite a lot of crossover into FNQ aswell
It’s worth noting that that map was by polling place, which means the population was not equal on a per-dot basis.
And when you look at it across larger populations, there’s actually even more of a yes vote in parts of SEQ than there was in FNQ, purely because the population of (yes-voting) educated city-dwellers is larger than the population of (yes-voting) Indigenous Australians. So divisions like Brisbane, Griffith, and Ryan, as well as parts of Lilley (including the polling place I worked at) voted majority Yes, and represent a greater number of total people than those yes-voting polling places.
I’m not trying to make any value-judgment here, fwiw. Just pointing out some statistics.

no that’s fair, thanks for the clarification
