Australia to hold colonialism inquiry

[Eldorado]

Australia will establish the country's first Truth and Justice Commission to investigate the ongoing effects of colonisation on the state’s Indigenous communities.

The inquiry for the country's Victoria state is modelled on one set up by Nelson Mandela in post-apartheid South Africa, and will assist in the state's treaty negotiations with Aboriginal communities, potentially including the payment of reparations.

The commission, announced on Tuesday, will host public hearings on the role colonisation played in creating and exacerbating disadvantages faced by Indigenous people.

More smoke and mirrors to be held up as “addressing concerns” while at the same time doing sweet fanny Arkwright in reality.
