Read with context

This is the Commission's 2015 framework and recommendations, not a current scorecard of progress or the only Indigenous account of reconciliation.

Questions to investigate

  1. How does the Commission define reconciliation?
  2. Select a recommendation and identify who must act for it to be carried out.
