National Reconciliation Week
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (13:14): As this week is reconciliation week with the theme ‘Now more than ever’, it is a time for all of us to learn about the truth of our country’s history and the beauty of First Peoples’ history and culture and of their determination since colonisation. Sunday was also Sorry Day. It is a significant day for First Peoples. It commemorates the stolen generation, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly stolen from their families. It is a reminder of the wrongs of the past.
