The premier of Victoria, Jacinta Allan, has appeared before the Yoorrook Justice Commission—Australia’s first truth-telling inquiry, which has the same powers as a royal commission.

She is the first head of an Australian government to appear before such an inquiry, established to investigate the impact of past and present events on Indigenous communities.
