Is reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia what most people think it is? This short thought provoking talk by Dr Penny Taylor reflects on this important question.
Penny is a Baha’i who grew up in Tasmania on Palawa country, has worked in women and children’s human rights throughout the pacific, as a community solicitor in Darwin on Larrakia country, and for several years at the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation leading their research division. She has a PhD focussed on reconciliation and race-relations in Australia. She now resides in Sydney and works for Reconciliation Australia in their Community Truth Telling program.
In her talk, Penny recommends every Australia read the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
