A Makarrata (a Yolngu word for 'coming together after a struggle') Commission would be a truth-telling body tasked with officially recording the history of colonization, frontier violence, and historic injustices against First Nations people. Proponents argue that confronting these uncomfortable truths is essential for national healing, similar to post-apartheid South Africa. Opponents argue it will create endless cultural division, breed resentment, and distract from closing the gap in practical areas like education and infant mortality.
