Victoria's First Peoples' Assembly has called on the State Government to establish a truth commission to lay out the state's history of colonisation and its impact on Aboriginal communities.An inquiry would be tasked with delving into Victoria's history of massacres, Stolen Generations and deaths in custody
The Assembly, which is working to progress the negotiation of a treaty or treaties between the Victorian Government and Aboriginal nations across the state, will now write to the Government seeking its commitment to establishing terms of reference for the commission within six months. Mr Kelly and a number of Assembly members who spoke in strong support of the motion at the Assembly's meeting, which was held over Zoom and live-streamed on Facebook,
Treaty? I didn’t realise we are at war? Sounds like a money grab/handout
are they going to be telling the truth about all the DV & sexual violence that indigenous women & children continue to suffer from? Tell the truth about the perpetrators of that violence?
First People Assembly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Truth Telling, they can start with the Labor party.
The Wurunjeri did a treaty with John Batman in 1835. Are you suggesting a do over? If so, how many do overs will you be asking for?
What the bloody hell is the Peoples Assembly
Wtf fresh Marxist hell is a govt 'truth-telling' inquiry?
Truth is they should be bloody thankful that they were colonised by Britain .
Will this 'truth telling' mention the rampant rape, abuse and neglect of children in Aboriginal communities? Or will they continue pretending it's not happening - like the ABC does?
Truth telling? Start with the truth of indigenous history and culture without the BS noble savage narrative, including enslaving women, raping children, tribal wars, infanticide, cannibalism, through to massacres of settlers & today's DV, molestation, anti white racism, & crime.
Can you promote a truth telling inquiry on African gang MKPack? Or are you too busy virtue signaling?
Treaty truth telling my arse no matter what we do or how much money we dish out won’t fix aboriginal issues
More racist rubbish. How about covering real issues like this hate crime
Is one going to be established for the ABC?
Aboriginals would have a longer survival rate if they were raised by whites.
yes Let’s get the truth..
Like the ABC the truth can be flexible.
Would like to see this expanded to include a comprehensive documentation of culture, beliefs, cataloguing of lands and sites.
'There's only one Australian history, and that's the correct history,' he said.' says the govt mandated truth commissar. Where is the evidence that any of this we allow us to reconcile the past?
They don’t want the truth.

Branch-stacking scandal will haunt Labor into next election: Lambie | Sky News AustraliaIndependent Senator Jacqui Lambie says branch-stacking is an issue right across the political spectrum and has called for an inquiry to be launched into both the major political parties. \n\n“I certainly think they need to get a grip on all this, and it’s not just the Labor Party, it’s the Liberal Party as well,” she told Sky News on Wednesday. \n\n“I mean this branch stacking’s been going on for years and years and I cannot believe the amount of people already involved. \n\n“I think there should be an inquiry on branch stacking right across the country into both the major parties. \n\n“Let’s get to the bottom of this once and for all and see just how far this is going through both of them.” \n\nWith branch-stacking allegations already claiming the scalps of three Labor MPs in Victoria, Senator Lambie said she would be surprised if the issue wasn’t more widespread. \n\n“I can’t believe, after watching that report, that there isn’t a lot more people who knew exactly what was going on here and nobody did a God-damned thing,” she said. \n\nThe Tasmanian Senator said the scandal would haunt Labor into the next election if it did not make its inquiry transparent. \n\n'If they don’t come out and tell the truth and bring everything out into the open, Labor’s really going to struggle into the next election,' she said. JacquiLambie Every branch that was stacked has a member who should not be in power, a potential person in the pocket of special interest and foreign powers. They must all resign. JacquiLambie Maybe Stuart Robert and yourself could do it. JacquiLambie they may lose some seats in Vic... but they'll still win, the opposition is totally useless here
