Jenny Candy

Jenny Candy acknowledges her limited knowledge of Victoria’s colonisation and its impacts on First Peoples, noting the cruelty and disregard shown by colonists. She criticises the inadequate education on First Nations history and culture, and advocates for more First Nations names for landmarks, inclusive storytelling, and compulsory First Nations education in schools. She emphasises the importance of listening to First Nations stories, promoting cultural awareness through media, signage, festivals, and genuine acknowledgements of country.
