I'm deeply sorry to all Aboriginal Territorians for the past harms and injustices caused by
00:15
members of the Northern Territory Police.
00:17
I know that I cannot change or undo the past, but as a Police Commissioner, alongside with
00:24
our Police Officers, we can commit to not repeat mistakes and injustices of the past.
00:43
It's not just the racism that people may say that they face when they deal with Police
00:50
Forces, the Police Officers on the street, it will also be looking at policies, legislation.
01:06
Would you encourage other Police Commissioners to do this?
01:08
One of the things, well it's up to them, but in general it's a good idea to acknowledge
01:14
history and to acknowledge that why we are here today is because of that history.
