"The recent deaths in custody of two Indigenous men in the Northern Territory
have provoked a deeply confronting question – will it ever end?
About 597 First Nations people have died in custody since the 1991
Royal
Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
This year alone, 12 Indigenous people have died – 31% of total custodial
deaths.
The raw numbers are a tragic indictment of government failure to implement in
full the Commission’s 339 recommendations.
We are potentially further away from resolving this crisis than we were 34
years ago."
