The Yoorrook Justice Commission is the first formal “truth-telling”
inquiry in Australian history, and has the same powers as a Royal
Commission.
Set up to investigate alleged “systemic injustices” against Indigenous
people, the commission can compel evidence, call witnesses, hold public
hearings and make recommendations to government. Its final report in due in
mid-2025.
Given the nasty Anglo-Celtic racist nature of over privileged hard-right
political circles within OZ (i.e. the Murdoch media machinery, Advance
Australia mob and similar, Gestapo Dutton and his henchmen and
fish_and_chips auntie Hanson with her assorted bogan goons) and their
despicable misinformation and full of outright lies campaign activities
around the voice referendum I'd say this is the least we can do for the
indigenous citizens of this continent.
This is all about exercising basic decency and human compassion,
acknowledging past mistakes while preserving democracy for all in an
equitable measure.
There is nothing far leftist about this, except for to stating the
obvious: no leftists on the planet of any kind would stay in the way of
such appropriate inquiry, in fact, just the opposite.
So your point of cross-posting this article to multiple Usenet
newsgroups is what exactly?????
As someone whose family has been in Australia only since the 1950s, I
wish the Anglos' would keep me out of their issues. My family, and in
fact, many, many other Australians had nothing to do with the original
Colonisation, and yet we're constantly reminded about it, made to feel
guilty, etc.

You shouldn’t feel guilty.
I don't, but it is annoying that its assumed im a colonizer when I'm
actually the product of immigration. They say "European
Colonisation". Why aren't the Chinese also called colonisers? They
were here before my family was.
