Welcome to part 2 of my yarn with Commissioner Sue-Anne Hunter. This yarn delves into the challenges of holding the government accountable for policies affecting First Nations peoples, with a particular focus on Victoria’s truth commission. The commission is examining systemic injustices from 1788 to the present and has outlined plans for future hearings over the next ten months, which will address critical issues such as child protection and criminal justice.
