It is time to own the past.
While the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s role is to look into both past and ongoing injustices experienced by Traditional Owners and First Peoples in Victoria in all areas of life since colonisation; this is not the first time truth telling has occurred. The massacre sites in Victoria are well known.

The most important truth this commission can unlock is what Government has done (failed to do) to rectify these truths.
