I am voting YES!!

In 2015-2017, I travelled Australia in a caravan for 600 days with my family, it wasn't a holiday, it was an adventure. When my daughter (she was about 8 at the time) finished visiting a museum in Tasmania and hopped in the car and said "Mum, we stole this country from the Indigenous didn't we?", I immediately hurt.

I hurt for the traditional owners of the land, for those who lost their lives unnecessarily and I felt immensely challenged by the fact I was taught something in school about Australia which was vastly different from the truth.

I'm voting YES because it's honourable and honest. It represents future and forward motion and demonstrates openly, that even though we make mistakes, TOGETHER we can stand up and step forward for all.
