Sorry Business is an Australian colloquial term referring to a period of mourning for Aboriginal people after someone has passed away. The uniquely Territorian phrase captures a lot of what the Coroner’s Court does. This conference will explore themes, ideas and studies of the Coroner’s Court that align with Sorry Business.
The conference logo is a representation of the conference theme, Sorry Business. The painting represents Indigenous and non-Indigenous gathering together on country, in this case the circle shows the gathering. The U shaped reflects Indigenous and non Indigenous coming together reflected by the colours. Healing together like a healing circle. As everyone gathers, they heal and talk. Many things are discussed and in that process everyone can move forward to better times, individually and collectively. Translated by Anangu poeple, the traditional landowners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
