On 8 September
2025, the National Centre for Reconciliation, Truth, and Justice hosted a very
special event, “Speaking Truth to Power – the Yoorrook Justice Commission and
Truth-Telling”, that explored key issues like:
* “What were the key findings of the now completed
Yoorrook Justice Commission?”
* “What happens to Truth-Telling in Victoria after
the Yoorrook Justice Commission?”
* “How does Truth-Telling impact on the
development of a Treaty in Victoria?”
* “What is happening with Truth-Telling elsewhere
in Australia and internationally?”
* “How can individuals, organisations, and
communities engage in Truth-Telling?”
Professor Sue-Anne
Hunter, former Deputy Chair and Commissioner of the Yoorrook Justice Commission,
delivered the first public lecture on Yoorrook and Truth-Telling since the
Commission delivered its final reports to government.
Professor
Hunter joined other key thought-leaders, Professor Emma-Jaye Gavin, Uncle
Charles Pakana, and Maria Dimopoulos AM, on a panel moderated by Professor
Andrew Gunstone, for an in-depth conversation about Truth-Telling.
