Australian inquiry: European settlers committed genocide against Indigenous people, calls for redress
A Victorian inquiry has declared European settlement in Australia as genocide against Indigenous people. The Yoorrook Justice Commission's report details massacres, forced child removal, and cultural suppression, leading to the near destruction of Indigenous communities. The report recommends redress, including financial compensation and land restitution, acknowledging genocide, crimes against humanity, and denial of freedoms. Premier Jacinta Allan promised to consider the recommendations, which highlight the ongoing impact of colonial practices on Indigenous Australians.
