Statement in support of the Truth-Telling and Healing Inquiry — Queensland Muslims Inc.

“I was raised in South Africa during the apartheid era. So, I have witnessed firsthand the short- and long-term impacts of institutionalised racism, including severe inter-generational trauma…Just as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission brought healing and reconciliation for South Africans, I have witnessed how our State’s Truth-Telling and Healing Inquiry has started a new era of healing and reconciliation for Queenslanders,” says Habib Jamal, President of Queensland Muslim Inc.
