Work was underway, with witnesses already having testified about racial discrimination and abuse. The premier gave the order to stop in a press conference, without talking first to the man running the process.Today, Chairman of The Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry Joshua Creamer on David Crisafulli’s decision and the truth that will never be heard. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Chairman of The Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry Joshua CreamerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
