The study offers important lessons for how the vision of truth-telling in the Uluru Statement could be realised and supported in order to build a fuller understanding of Australia’s history and the need for lasting structural transformations.
This briefing paper outlines our key findings and suggests ways in which truth-telling could be supported. It proposes a set of principles which the research indicates could enhance the power and impact of truth-telling and makes recommendations about how truth-telling could be progressed in the light of the research.
