First Nations justice priorities
We recognise and commit to addressing historic and ongoing injustices against First Nations people. We work closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations to tackle injustice, including by backing First Nations-led solutions in the ‘child protection’ system, challenging discrimination in policing and telling the truth about our history.
