— Yoorrook Justice Commission (@yoorrookjc) March 28, 2024
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.

That happens only when one successfully swallows the nasty misleading rightwing propaganda dumps in a hook-line-sinker fashion, that is all.
The remedy is quite simple: Laying off from watching/listening
to/reading all that Murdoch and LNP propaganda rubbish.
Just look up unedited ABS data to obtain a rational view on this matter instead.
You shouldn’t feel guilty.It is not now nor has ever been about feeling some/any "guilt". It is
all about helping the indigenous population of this continent catching
up in their quality of their lives with the rest of us.
Nope, I am definitely not feeling guilty about the dark Australian past
as I am an immigrant myself, but I am keen on acknowledging real history
for what it is worth. One can always learn from past mistakes if the
will is there.
However what I definitely feel is being quite appalled seeing our
collective political inability, given our contemporary wealth, advanced industrial and cultural status, to achieve relative equality and proper acknowledgement for all people living here.
The racist and greedy capitalist political right has successfully misconstrued the nature of real problems related to indigenous
Australian as was clearly seen in the rejected Voice referendum.
