Abstract

National reconciliation remains a work in progress. Under the federal Turnbull Government, it faltered and stalled. Turnbull’s cavalier and graceless rejection of the Uluru Statement from the Heart has been widely condemned. Mark McKenna’s Quarterly Essay, ‘Moment of Truth: History and Australia’s Future’, ruminates on the implications of the Prime Minister’s ham-fisted response, and charts a way to get the process back on track. In particular, he pursues the statement’s call for a national process of historical truth-telling.
