Victoria is on the brink of making history. This week, after years of negotiations, the state government tabled a landmark Treaty Bill in parliament.
If passed, potentially later this month, it will deliver a formal apology to First Peoples, embed Aboriginal truth-telling in schools and restore traditional names to parks and waterways.
Crucially, the Treaty process has unfolded alongside the Yoorrook Justice Commission, Australia’s first Indigenous-led truth-telling inquiry.
