30 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody: what have we learned?

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the final report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, created by the Hawke Government in 1987.

We’re joined by Warren Mundine... former Chair of the PM’s indigenous advisory council during Tony Abbott’s time as PM; and Taylah Gray, an indigenous lawyer and academic, who come from different perspectives, but tell a similar story.

More than 455 Indigenous people have died in custody since the report was released on April 15, 1991. NSW State Coroner Teresa O’Sullivan said this week First Nations people continued to be “overrepresented in every category of death dealt with by the Coroner’s Court”. What more can be done? And have we done enough….?
