Black deaths in custody

First Nations activists prevented killer cop Zachary Rolfe, who shot and killed Kumanjayi Walker in 2019, from speaking at a police conference. Zebedee Parkes reports.

Warlpiri Elder Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves wrote this open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese demanding he take action to deliver justice for Kumanjayi White, the 24-year-old Warlipiri man who was killed by police in May.

Very little is known about the circumstances of young Warlpiri man, Kumanjayi White’s, death in custody because the police and state have closed ranks. Paul Gregoire reports on the push-back against this criminal pattern.

Protesters, including Aunty Gail Hickey, are still demanding that the NSW Police officers that chased TJ Hickey to his death in 2004 be brought to justice. Paul Gregoire reports.

Green Left’s Alex Bainbridge spoke to Independent Senator and DjabWurrung Gunnai Gunditjmara Lidia Thorpe about Labor’s promises and record on addressing First Nations’ injustices.
