Sky News host Peta Credlin exposes Labor's 'lie' on the Uluru Statement from the Heart under Freedom of Information Act

The Prime Minister has committed to implementing all elements of the Uluru Statement “in full” which calls for "Voice, Treaty, Truth".

If Australians were to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the upcoming referendum, the Makarrata Commission would be the next stage of the Uluru process. 

The commission is designed to lead the process of treaty-making between governments and First Nations, and truth-telling at a national, regional and local level.

Mr Albanese has repeatedly spruiked the Uluru Statement as a "two minute read" one-page document "that invites all Australians to walk together to a better future". 

But Credlin has revealed that is not quite the case after the government was forced to release the full 26-page statement under Freedom of Information.

The whole tenor of the actual statement in full is one "of anger, grievance, separatism, and the need to undo, as far as possible, the last 240 years of Australian history", Credlin said. 

Excerpts from the lengthy document refer to the "invasion" of Botany Bay as "the fundamental grievance" of First Nations, and that the Tasmanian Genocide and the Black War was waged by "colonists".

Another extract reads: “By making agreements at the highest level, the negotiation process with the Australian government allows First Nations to express our sovereignty".

Credlin said the statement was at odds with Mr Albanese's claim that treaty-making processes would be led by states and territories, rather than on a federal level. 

"Contrary to PM’s current, poll-panicked claim that the Voice is not about treaties, these official documents confirm that treaties, indeed, are the Uluru Statement’s precise point," she said.

"The full Uluru Statement document, hidden from voters until now, says in black and white, that 'Makarrata is another word for Treaty or agreement making. And it is the culmination of our agenda'."

Credlin said page 23 of the document stated that parliament would begin establishing the commission before the Voice is legislated, which she suggested is already occurring by "stealth". 

"We know it is happening, because the Albanese government has already allocated over $5 million dollars to do this in the budget," she said. 

"They have already spent $900,000 to date, and yet on every day this week, the Indigenous Minister has refused to answer any questions, in the parliament, about the Makarrata Commission or where this money has been spent."

The document also sets out in detail that the Voice will be "accommodated on an appropriate site within the parliamentary circle in Canberra" and that it "must also be supported by a sufficient and guaranteed budget, with access to its own independent secretariat, experts and lawyers," Credlin said. 

She said the information aligned with her previous reports about talk in Canberra that claimed public servants were already reviewing the plans of Parliament House to work out where they will establish the Voice, as well as where they will build a new chamber for meetings and offices for paid staffers. 

However, Credlin suggested the most concerning part of the document lay on page 19, which pointed to reparations owed to First Nations. 

They include seeking a percentage of GDP – the resolution of land, water and resources issues.

"Reparations. Compensation paid by taxpayers, including options such as a financial settlement based on a percentage of Australia’s GDP," she said. 

Credlin recommended those in doubt about "the radical nature of the changes" proposed by Voice campaigners, comb through the 86 pages of lead-up deliberations preceding the full 26 pages of the Statement from the Heart.

"Please, read these documents; that those pushing for the Voice hoped you would never see," she urged.
