Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s 12-month deadline to respond to the 46 recommendations in its final report is "ambitious", and one that the state government is unlikely to meet. He has downplayed concerns that the recommendations would result in separate justice systems for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The federal Opposition’s Indigenous affairs spokeswoman, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, warns that the Yoorrook commission’s recommendations are a taste of what Australians can expect if the divisive voice to parliament is enshrined in the Constitution. She adds that lowering expectations for Indigenous Australians does not help solve the problems that lead to their over-representation in the criminal justice and child protection systems.
