Victoria’s police commissioner has apologised for the role the force played in the stolen generations over more than 100 years.
The apology is part of a series of commitments Victoria police made after its appearance at the state’s truth-telling inquiry, the Yoorrook Justice Commission, last year. You can view Patton’s Ian Hamm, a Yorta Yorta man and child of the stolen generations, said he “never thought” police would apologise and urged Patton, who critics have labelled “woke”, to embrace the term as a “badge of honour of doing what needed to be done”., locals have estimated. Six villages in Mulitaka, in Enga province’s Porgera-Paiela district, were covered by the landslide. Authorities are yet to give an official death toll.
