My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator Gallagher. In 2020 the Prime Minister tweeted:

Voice. Truth. Treaty. That's the future I want for Australia.

However, in a recent interview with Ben Fordham on 2GB he stated emphatically:

This is not about a treaty. This isn't about that.

The Prime Minister then described a treaty as something that isn't happening. Can the minister confirm which version of the Prime Minister's statements is the future he wants? Is it a treaty or not a treaty?
