Patrick Ottery

Patrick Ottery discusses how the massive scale of murder, displacement, and cultural destruction of First Nations people due to colonisation. He criticises the education system for not teaching this history and advocates for comprehensive education on colonisation, reparations, and government action to address systemic inequalities. He believes non-First Nations Victorians should read, listen, and challenge biases, and that government leaders must promote First Peoples history and culture beyond token gestures.
