"The Yoorrook Justice Commission is calling on the Victorian State government
to create an independent watchdog to tackle police complaints, stop detaining
children under the age of 16 and to implement a First Nations-controlled child
protection system.
Over the course of a year-long inquiry, Yoorrook - the first formal
truth-telling process into historical and ongoing injustices experienced by
First Peoples in Victoria - has found evidence of systemic racism, police
malpractice and human rights violations against Indigenous Victorians, in its
second interim report published on Monday and tabled in Victorian parliament.
For the first time in Australian history, a state government will be required
to respond to the reform agenda put forward by its own truth-telling
commission."
