Rodney Carter

I live in central Victoria and I am a descendant of the Dja Dja Wurrung people. If elected to the First Peoples’ Assembly, I will ensure a strong voice on advocacy for the needs of all people upon treaty matters in the north western electoral region.

I believe that Treaty can be something for everyone to share in. As a Traditional Owner, our leadership needs to ensure that everyone benefits from the opportunities that Treaty could provide.

Treaty provides us a unique chance, as a sovereign people that have never ceded our homelands, to be properly recognised and that we sit as equals, to be a positive example for all Victorians.

Our Ancestors never had the respect of the colonial powers of the day. I would be honoured to represent you at this Assembly, so our Ancestor’s voices are not forgotten, and our children and future generations have greater opportunities than we have today.
