I am deeply honoured to be appointed senior counsel assisting the Yoorrook Justice Commission supporting the first formal truth-telling process into injustices experienced by First Peoples in Victoria.
The Commission will examine past and ongoing injustices experienced by Traditional Owners and First Peoples in Victoria in all areas of life since colonisation and support a greater understanding of the causes of trauma, injustice and disadvantage. It will celebrate the strength and resilience of our First Nations and create a rich public record for future generations.
The Commission has been conducting public hearings in Melbourne and meetings in regional Victoria.
