Truth and Justice Commission legislation

Productivity Commission submission

The Productivity Commission (PC) made a submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affair’s Inquiry into the Truth and Justice Commission Bill 2024 (the Truth and Justice Bill).

The submission highlights findings from our Review of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap which articulate the value of truth-telling, when designed and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Truth-telling can play a role in transforming government and supporting the aspirations and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The PC provided the submission to the Committee on 6 September 2024 and it was published on our website on 12 September 2024.
