How do we fix the broken relationship between police and Indigenous Australia?

The record breaking protests in the US have rightly put questions about the way Australia’s indigenous people are treated by police back on the agenda.

Indigenous incarceration rates here in Australia are on the rise, and First Nations people are now more likely to be locked up than African-Americans.

One recommended way of fixing this problem is by increasing the number of Indigenous people in the police force.

In todays Briefing we take you to Australia’s first all Indigenous police station in a small community 300kms west of Uluru featured in the film ‘Our Law’.

We catch up with the film’s director Cornel Ozies and one its stars Sergeant Wendy Kelly - an Indigenous police officer who was working at the station and helping improve the way the police force engages with Indigenous people.

Today's Headlines:

  • Chris Lilley shows & Little Britian pulled down over blackface
  • Ruby Princess inquiry hears passengers “had flights to catch”
  • Aussie gyms rush to cut ties with Crossfit after CEO resigns
  • Police to take legal action over more planned protests

In todays episode we ask: What have the police done wrong in the way they’ve dealt with Indigenous people? What is the key difference being Indigenous police officer? Is there an instant trust that a non-indigenous person wouldn’t have?
