Reconciliation Week 2024 highlights unity and justice
Share
As Reconciliation Week kicks off across Australia from 27 May to 3 June, it serves as a time for all Australians to reflect on the important moments in Australia’s path to reconciliation and contemplate ways to strive for a brighter future.
The Australian government is urging everyone to contemplate the importance of this year’s theme: Now More Than Ever.
After a challenging year in 2023 for numerous First Nations individuals, “Now More Than Ever” serves as a poignant reminder that the ongoing struggle for justice and the protection of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people remains steadfast.
We follow in the footsteps of courageous individuals like William Cooper, Eddie Mabo, Faith Bandler, and Lowitja O’Donoghue, who were unwavering in their commitment to creating a brighter tomorrow for Indigenous Australians.
Understanding our history, acknowledging past injustices, and striving for a more equitable future are essential for reconciliation.
During Reconciliation Week, it is key for all Australians to unite and contribute to our collective efforts in creating a more inclusive and equitable Australia, with a focus on improving the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Quotes attributable to Minister Burney
“Each year, Australians have an opportunity during Reconciliation Week to reflect on the past and take action towards a more reconciled Australia.
Now more than ever, it’s time to make progress towards reconciliation.
Now more than ever, the next generation of young Australians can grasp the opportunity to move this country forward to a more united future.
Quotes attributable to Assistant Minister McCarthy
“Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians to embark on.
As Patrick Dodson said – reconciliation is the ‘unfinished business’ of Australia.
Each of us has a part to play in advancing this journey and I urge every Australian to consider how to work together to create a reconciled country that takes pride in 65,000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and connection to country.”
