Appalling. Record number of indigenous deaths in custody.
Here's some perspective.
In 2023-24, 108 people died in custody in Australia.
24 were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander...that's 23%!
Only 3.8% of Australians are indigenous.

I didn’t want to believe it was true. Say his name: Saleh Al-Jafarawi. He had the most beautiful smile. He was not among the 270+ journalists killed prior to the latest ceasefire. He was ebullient that the bombing stopped. And now he’s been killed.

A young person died just days after the LNP make pill testing illegal.

There’s a good chance that if they could have had these pills tested, they’d be with us all today.
