A respected Nurungga leader says it’s the right time for Australia to bite the bullet and say it’s time for a treaty.

A game changing vote by the British population which saw the nation pull out of the European Union has prompted conversation around whether Australia should become an independent nation.

It comes as Scotland and Northern Ireland also contemplate breaking away from the United Kingdom.

The talk of an Australian republic has raised concerns among a number of high profile Treaty advocates who say a settlement with the Government is needed as soon as possible.

Narungga man Tauto Sansbury says First Nations people need to get on the same page.
