The Queensland Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry has released its first report.
The report highlights some of its key achievements since starting on 1 July 2024. It also shares information about the hearings and sessions already held and how the Inquiry plans to engage Queenslanders in its next steps.
The report also includes a roadmap of the Inquiry’s activities during its 3-year term, as it works across Queensland to discover the continuing story of how we all created Queensland.
In launching the report, Inquiry Chairperson Joshua Creamer, a Waanyi and Kalkadoon barrister, said the Inquiry has a role to strengthen the relationship between non-Indigenous people and Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to foster reconciliation and a deeper respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, history and experiences that transcend generations.
“The Inquiry is about unity and contributing to a reconciled Queensland, based upon a shared understanding of a full and complete history of Queensland,” he said.
