Australia’s first truth-telling inquiry has labelled the injustices experienced by First Nations people in Victoria a “genocide” and urged the state government to provide redress for injustices from “colonial invasion”.
The Yoorrook Justice Commission’s final report was tabled in the Victorian parliament on Tuesday, and made 100 recommendations aimed at truth telling, healing and reconciliation. The recommendations relate to a range of institutions including health, education, the justice and child protection system.
