Why is a treaty being presented as an alternative to the Voice?

Treaties are not necessarily an alternative to the Voice. After the Voice, the Uluru Statement calls for treaty (or agreements) and telling the truth, which will be overseen by a 'Makarrata Commission.' These agreements, also known as treaties, aim to resolve important matters for a shared future, and they are based on a mutual understanding.

Some of the people who want a treaty now think that the idea of a Voice doesn't go far enough because the Voice could only make "representations" to the government and Parliament.
