Submission – Kinaway Chamber of Commerce
Kinaway is from the Gunnai language, meaning ‘exchange’. Kinaway Chamber of Commerce is the legislated body responsible for certifying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses across Victoria.
This submission is an overview that responds to many of the economic disparities highlighted in the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s findings and underscores the pivotal strategies from the “Yuma Yirramboi – Invest in Tomorrow – Aboriginal Employment and Economic Strategy,” which align with Kinaway’s objectives to enhance Aboriginal employment and economic outcomes.
Submission – Dean Lusher
Dean Lusher is a Wamba Wemba man.
In this submission, he expresses profound sadness for his great-grandfather, Frederick (Fred) Moore (1865-1952) and the fact that he “must have felt it would be better if he denied who he was – Aboriginal – in order to protect his family and himself’. He details the sense of loss he feels for culture and connections he missed out on and the privilege he feels to learn of his Aboriginal heritage when he turned 50.
