SHARC stands in support of today’s apology to First Nations people. We recognise the profound harm inflicted on First Nations people by the state and colony – both historic and ongoing – and welcome this step towards justice.
This moment is a testament to the strength, resilience, and activism of First Nations people, whose voices have driven change and paved the way for reconciliation.
SHARC recognises the transformative power of lived knowledge, storytelling, community support and community-led action.
We encourage our community and partners to reflect on the significance of today’s apology as we work towards a Victoria where First Nations people are treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
