Unfinished Business: Moving beyond the Australian National Apology (2008) towards Indigenous justice

Sharon Hartles

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

In 2008, a National Apology was offered on behalf of the Australian Government to the Indigenous people of Australia, particularly for the Stolen Generations. Although the apology was constructed under the guise of reconciliation, it represented a shift in political discourse with regards to strategies of governance. Over a decade later there is much unfinished business which needs to be addressed in the move towards Indigenous justice and a united Australia.
