For generations, First Nations people have called for a truth-telling process — a way to formally acknowledge the harm caused by colonisation and ongoing injustice.

In Victoria, that process has taken historic form through the Yoorrook Justice Commission — the first truth-telling inquiry of its kind in Australia.

Over a number of years, the commission heard thousands of testimonies, exposing the deep and painful truths of the state’s past and present.

He joined Tina Quinn to discuss what Yoorrook uncovered.
