How can we ever move on from our past if we do not accept the truth? First Peoples have been calling for an Australian truth-telling process for generations – a process to establish an official record of the impact of colonisation, and allow us to acknowledge the human rights abuses that have occurred in this country since colonisation. In May 2021, the Yoo-rrook Justice Commission was established by the Victorian Government, the first truth-telling body in Australia. We all must hear the truth. We cannot ask for forgiveness until we have acknowledged what has transpired.
