Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have long called for a comprehensive process of truth-telling about Australia’s history.
Telling the truth about our history not only brings to light colonial conflict and dispossession, but also acknowledges the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
The historic Yoorrook Justice Commission recently released its interim report on historical and ongoing injustices experienced by First Nations people in Victoria. Please join us as counsel for the Commission discuss the challenges and importance of this work.
This Twilight Reflection is open to judicial officers only.
Supported by the Judicial Officers Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Committee (JOACAC).
