The last two of these proposals call the Allan government to officially accept the responsibility of the previously responsibility for the “laws, policies and practices that contribute to systemic injustices against the first people of the Victorian era”.

The ultimate demand is that through a state -wide treaty and other local treaties to be negotiated with traditional ownership groups, it provides the correction of injustices as a result of the colonial occupation of the state.

This includes all damage and losses, including economic and non -economic loss for genocide, and the rejection of crimes against humanity and freedoms.

Yoorrook’s report should include compensation, monetary compensation, tax reduction and traditional lands, waters and natural resources, and the return of ownership to the first peoples.

Other proposals called Victoria’s first folk council to negotiate “Independent Financial Streams ,, called Victoria’s self -determination fund and other attempts managed by Aborigin Victorians to negotiate“ independent financial flows için to obtain revenue from soil, water and natural resources.

To support this, Yoorrook calls the government government to access the government and traditional groups to access the government’s free land, crown land, fishing, forestry, renewable energy, minerals, gas and oil.

In the report, which was located between 2010-2023, the state received $ 83 billion of water revenue, resource copyrights of $ 1 billion and $ 1.89 billion from grazing and licenses of state land.

In September 2023, Yoorrook published a report with 46 suggestions on the Child Protection and Youth Justice System, including calls for revision calls that will provide more control to the first nations.

Seven months later, the Allan government fully supported four of them, listed in 24 principles and 15 as evaluated. The state rejected three proposals to maintain human rights violations through the age of criminal responsibility, bail reform and Victoria Civil and Administrative Court.

Prime Minister Jacinta Allan thanked the commission for reports on Tuesday and said that the state government would consider the final findings and suggestions.

“They shed light on the harsh facts and puts foundations for a better future for all Victorians,” he said.

“Victoria’s process of telling the truth is a historical opportunity to hear the buried stories of our past-the stories that all the Victorians should hear.”
