The paper investigates the transformation of Indigenous-settler relations within the context of Australian political science. It critiques the historical and ongoing marginalization of Indigenous voices in public discourse and policy-making, highlighting a pervasive disconnect between the settler state and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The authors advocate for a new research agenda that prioritizes Indigenous perspectives, challenges existing narratives, and promotes meaningful engagement in order to enhance understanding and foster genuine reconciliation.
