The final report of the parliamentary inquiry into historical gay and transgender hate crimes in NSW, which recommends the establishment of a judicial inquiry into unsolved murders, has been welcomed by the state’s leading LGBTQ health organisation, ACON.
ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill said a judicial inquiry will shed further light on a dark chapter in NSW’s history and help with healing the pain and trauma experienced by many people as a result of these events.
“The attacks committed against sexuality and gender diverse people in NSW over decades have left a painful legacy for the loved ones of victims, survivors, their families, and the entire community, which was compounded by the slow and inadequate responses to many of these crimes,” Parkhill said. “ACON strongly supports a further judicial inquiry, as recommended in the final report into the inquiry.”
