An Australian-first inquiry backed by royal commission powers will investigate the ongoing effects of colonisation on Victoriaâs Indigenous community and chart a path to reconciliation.
The Andrews government will on Tuesday launch a âtruth-tellingâ commission that will help guide the stateâs treaty negotiations and potentially examine how reparations could be paid to Indigenous people for past injustices.
The Truth and Justice Commission â modelled on the commission set up by Nelson Mandela in post-apartheid South Africa as well as those that have been held in New Zealand and Canada â will be run by eminent commissioners who will recommend reforms to improve Indigenous peopleâs quality of life.
