Submit ReviewCross bench MPs have joined forces to demand Federal government action on Indigenous deaths in custody and child removals
Senator Lidia Thorpe - who initiated the letter - says it is unconscionable that decades after both the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and the 1997 report into the stolen children were handed down, Indigenous people continue to die at unacceptable rates, and the majority of the reports' recommendations are still not implemented.
She told RN Breakfast that they aren't "reinventing the wheel" and the solutions have been there for decades, but they need someone responsible for oversight and implementation so they can "hold governments to account."
Guest: Lidia Thorpe, Independent Senator
