Righting the Wrong

The Victorian State Government has announced its intention to deliver in Parliament a formal apology to those convicted under unjust and prejudiced laws that criminalized homosexual acts.

Criminal convictions affect life-long relationships to family, job prospects, careers and visa applications. Those who have lived with the burden of criminal convictions are especially and respectfully invited to attend. All registrations will be treated confidentially.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the apology.

Registrations: Register attendance by emailing equality@dpc.vic.gov.au
