Police Accountability Project

Acknowledgement

The Police Accountability Project acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations upon whose beautiful and unceded lands we live and work. We also acknowledge that both Victoria Police and the Victorian legal system were and remain a core component of colonisation, a process which included the violent removal of people from their land and which continues today in many forms including the disproportionate policing and imprisonment of Aboriginal people.
