The end of truth telling in Queensland
Description
One of the first things David Crisafulli did when he became premier of Queensland was order the state’s Truth-telling inquiry to stop immediately.
The Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry, which launched earlier this year, was examining the impacts of colonisation on First Nations people. Work was underway, with witnesses already having testified about racial discrimination and abuse.
The premier gave the order to stop in a press conference, without talking first to the man running the process.
Today, Chairman of The Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry Joshua Creamer on David Crisafulli’s decision and the truth that will never be heard.
