The chair of a delegation elected by the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to represent the community's views on Truth-telling and Treaty has opposed the Tasmanian Government's Aboriginal advisory group.

Delegation Chair Rodney Gibbins said the six-person group selected to form the government's advisory body is not representative of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

"This committee does not have the support or respect of the Palawa community as it has been Government chosen and not community elected," Mr Gibbins said.

"Jaensch's group can be considered as nothing more than a Government prop, manipulated to undermine or bypass the Palawa people's voice."

Members of the advisory body were selected after Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Roger Jaensch and Premier Jeremy Rockliff met with representatives of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community in July, with Nick Cameron, Rodney Dillon, Gypsy Draven, Dave mangenner Gough, Maxine Roughley and Theresa Sainty announced as the inaugural Aboriginal advisory body members last week.

In response to the announcement Mr Gibbins denounced the appointment of the group, questioning their legitimacy to represent Tasmanian Aboriginal people.

"This announced committee does not have the authority, respect or cultural license to speak on behalf of the Palawa people," Mr Gibbins said.

"There are no guarantees that all of these people are indeed Palawa."

Minister Jaensch said the government's process ensured members of the Aboriginal advisory body were nominated by the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

"All members of the Aboriginal advisory group were nominated by Tasmanian Aboriginal people through an open process," he said.

"Following (July's) gathering, I asked all Tasmanian Aboriginal organisations who had been invited to send me their nominations for membership of an advisory group, comprised of Aboriginal people, to co-design, with government, a clear and defined process for Truth-telling and Treaty.

"The government carefully considered all of the nominees and feedback, and ensured the membership of the advisory group was broadly representative of Tasmanian Aboriginal people, including region and gender.

Mr Gibbins said the Tasmanian Aboriginal community voiced its concerns about the government's process at a community meeting in July, held the same day as the government's pathway to Truth-telling and Treaty gathering with representatives from the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

"The community echoed concerns that Indigenous community voices and perspectives were not being heard and not being sought out," Mr Gibbins said.

"The community felt it was being ignored with the results that, once again, Palawa were being removed from power and pathways to justice.

"To overcome this, at that meeting the community encouraged Premier Rockliff to take over the Aboriginal Affairs portfolio and chose 11 delegates to form a group to represent them and to negotiate a plan for Treaty and Truth-telling in Lutruwita (Tasmania)."

Mr Gibbins said the 11-person delegation elected at the meeting are representative of the entire Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

"The delegates were chosen from across Lutruwita, including the islands," Mr Gibbins said.

"They have adopted the Palawa name tuylupa tunapri – 'to light the fire of understanding'. It is important to note that tuylupa tunapri are community representatives of the whole Palawa community.

"They represent the genuine voice of the community and are not constrained or directed by the views or interests of individual organisations."

The 11 delegates were decided upon through an election facilitated by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre.

Minister Jaensch said he TAC-facilitated delegation had so far declined to participate in the government's pathway to Treaty and Truth-telling process.

"I've had numerous meetings and conversations with representatives of the group that was nominated through a separate process conducted by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre," he said.

"As part of those discussions, the TAC-elected group was invited to nominate members to take part in the Aboriginal advisory group.

"The government was hopeful they would accept that invitation, and it is unfortunate they have decided not to participate at this stage."

Mr Gibbins said the delegation is interested in being involved in the pathway to Truth-Telling and Treaty process, however, after calling for Premier Rockliff to take over the Aboriginal Affairs portfolio, their requests to meet with the Premier have been unsuccessful.

"The tuylupa tunapri delegates are keen to work with the government and other groups to legislate for a Treaty and to establish a Truth-telling commission, which tells the truth of our history, people, culture, and country," he said.

"The group has also invited the Premier to meet with them on several occasions, which he has failed to do."

Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre chief executive Heather Sculthorpe did not respond to requests for comment about the TAC-facilitated delegation.
