The government has made little comment on truth and treaty since the Voice's defeat, but the prime minister says it's still under discussion.

The prime minister has said the establishment of a commission to implement and oversee a truth and treaty process is still on the government's agenda. Since the defeat of the Voice to Parliament in October last year, Labor has been muted on its plan to move forward with the Statement's other elements. Speaking over the weekend, Anthony Albanese attempted to allay fears that he had abandoned his election night commitment to enact the Uluru Statement "in full".

" It comes despite last month's budget showing a reappraisal of funding commitments by the government, namely the reallocation of funding for local Voices and the Treasurer's confirmation that money earmarked for Makarrata would be used on Closing the Gap measures.
