‘This was a genocide’: important collection restaurants from the first indigenous through the indigenous guided counts of Australia

After more than four years and more than 1,300 submissions, the first native told by the indigenous guided truth about the final report of Australia, the final report.

It has discovered that the first peoples of Victoria have endured crimes against humanity and genocide since the beginning of colonization in Victoria- and that they are still being hit by systemic injustice today.

The report has outlined 100 recommendations to restore these injustice.

Here are some of the most important collection restaurants.

What did YoROOK think?

The committee concluded that colonization in Victoria was widespread slaughter, cultural destruction, forced child removals and economic exclusion.

“YoROOK discovered that the decimation of the first population of the peoples in Victoria … The result was of a coordinated plan of various actions aimed at destroying the essential foundations of the lives of national groups,” said it.

“This was genocide.”

The research also showed that the legacy of colonization lived and was experienced by Aboriginal Victorians first -hand.

“First peoples in Victoria are consistently excluded from opportunities to generate wealth,” the report says.

“Colonial systems prevented first peoples from participating in economic life and creating wealth, including through education, opportunities for work and property.

It says that these current economic differences and barriers for the prosperity of First Peoples are a direct legacy of “colonial practices and the state of sanctioned exclusion”.

What are the most important recommendations?

The report called on the Victorian government to implement important reforms to restore constant systemic injustices.

Here are just a few of the large:

Education and schools

The recommendations require a major revision of educational systems in Victoria to build the perspectives of first people in the curriculum.

It committed to indigenous content in Aboriginal in the school curriculum, mandatory truthfulness and anti-racism training for educators and reforms of the policy that policy measures that have disproportionate influence on Aboriginal students.

At the university level, it insisted on the inclusion of first topics led by people on history, together with more employment and leadership of personnel in higher education and a tertiary supervisory body to guarantee better results.

Health

The report outlined a need for better resources and financing for indigenous health services.

It advised:

• Expansion of Aboriginal Community-controlled organizations (Accos) and increasing financing to make the delivery of more accessible and culturally safe funeral and funeral services possible.
• Significantly investing in health -guided answers in the case of a crisis in mental health care and the repulsion of the Victoria police.
• Financing culturally safe, trauma-inspired mental health care.
• Transferring the prison health care of first people from the Ministry of Justice and the safety of the community to the Ministry of Health.
• Increase the number of Aboriginal personnel and leaders in the system.

“Racism is endemic in the Victorian health system. YoRookook received an important amount of evidence in which the size of racism is explained in the sector, the various forms of racism and the important damage that the first peoples experience,” the report said.

Land rights

The Commissioners recommend that the state government “guarantee, maintain and improve the inherent rights on land on land through a self -determined, empowerment and healing model.”

It recommends a formal apology and story for the Soldier Settlement Scheme – who excluded First Nations Soldiers from receiving country packages after fighting for Australia in the First World War and the Second World War.

It also insists on the government to assess land that institutions such as churches and universities, which were “acquired for little or no consideration, or reserved by the crown” and returning to traditional owners.

The report also suggests the implementation of tax exemptions on natural resources.

Representation

The report evokes that a permanent united Peoples’ assembly is embedded as a representative body with decision -making powers about policy that influences them.

“The lack of accountability of the Victorian government with regard to the cases of First Peoples is a theme that cuts through every area of ​​YoRook’s research,” the report said.

“This pattern of unfulfilled promises, lack of transparency and chronic under -financing maintains inequality and undermines confidence between first peoples and the government.

“YoROKOK heard that the first person -conducted accountability mechanism to keep the government is essential to create change and cause trust and trust in government systems and processes.”

It also recommends restoring indigenous place names in Victoria and giving priority to “prominent public spaces and important parks, reserves and waterways and names”.

“Place names must be determined by relevant traditional owner groups and the first Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria must give this process permission and coordinate at the level of the entire state,” the report said.

What has been the government’s answer so far?

This is not the first time that YoROOK has asked the Victorian government for great reform.

In 2023, YoROOK published an interim report that found evidence from gross human rights violations in the criminal and child protection systems of Victoria.

It gave 46 recommendations, including a call to the government to stop imprisoning children under the age of 16 and to create an independent watchdog for police complaints.

But many of the YoRoook proposals from that interim report remain in the uncertain, whereby the government only supports six of the interim recommendations of the research.

The recommendations of YoRookook that have been rejected or still “in consideration” include greater changes to the image, such as bail reform, which the government has fully rejected, instead to hurry to hurry harder bail in rising crime figures.

The recommendations that have been supported and followed so far include rolling out human rights and training of cultural competition for child protection employees.

On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinta Allan indicated that she would support that the first people are a permanent advisory body.

“If you listen to people, you get better results, and that’s what the treaty is all about. I think we have that as a state,” she said.

Mrs Allan later welcomed the release of the findings.

“Thanks to the committee for these historical reports – they shine a light on hard truths and lay the foundation for a better future for all Victorians,” she said.

What are the other answers?

On Tuesday evening, Commissioner Travis Lovett said that he was “extremely proud” at his work that the investigation led alongside the other commissioners.

Commissioner Sue-Anne Hunter described it as “the privilege of my life”.

“This official public report has the power to change forever how people learn about the true history of this state,” she said.

Jill Gallagher, a Gunditjmara woman and the CEO of Vaccho, gave formal evidence to YoRoook and said that the findings of the Genocide report were “unquestionably”.

Former co-chairman of the first Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and Taungurung Man Marcus Stewart described the report as “heavy”.

“The act of genocide took place on our coasts and in particular had a significant influence on First Nations people here in Victoria,” he told ABC News Tuesday.

“When you start merging the proof of how this happened – the systemic nature in which it was, I think it is important for Victorians and Australians wider to understand that this is part of our history.”

Victorian green leader Ellen Sandell urged the government to fully accept the recommendations.

“The greens are ready to work with the Victorian government to deliver the solutions in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities,” she said.

“I insist on the prime minister to finally walk the conversation and fully adopt all youoook recommendations instead of ignoring or rejecting them as Labor has done in the past.”

The liberal opposition of the state said on Monday that it would not support the meeting permanent.

The opposition withdrew his support for the treaty process of Victoria, which in January last year the most improves on an Australian state or territory.
