New Leaders for the First Peoples' Assembly
Introduction
The First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria has two new leaders. They want to make a special agreement called a treaty.
Main Body
Djaran Murray-Jackson and Meriki Onus are the new leaders. They want to work hard for the treaty. They want First Nations people to make their own decisions. The Assembly is part of a group called Gellung Warl. This group helps people tell the truth about the past. It also checks if the government helps First Nations people. Some politicians do not like the treaty. Jess Wilson says the treaty costs too much money. She wants a different government office instead. The Assembly leaders say her plan is not clear.
Conclusion
The Assembly is still working. But the future of the treaty depends on the election in November.

💡 The 'WANT' Pattern
In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 learners: Want.
It describes a goal or a desire. Look at how it changes based on who is speaking:
- They want → (Djaran and Meriki) They want to make a treaty.
- She wants → (Jess Wilson) She wants a different office.
⚠️ Watch the 'S' When talking about one person (He/She/It), add an -s to the word:
- I want $
- You want $
- She wants ✅
- He wants ✅
🛠️ Two ways to use it:
- Want + Thing: She wants a different office.
- Want + Action: They want to work hard. (Always use 'to' before the action word!)
