Indigenous people are going to jail at a record rate - what's the solution? Original
By Bridget Brennan and Tahnee Jash, ABC They were the haunting images that shocked the nation - an Aboriginal teenager hooded and strapped to a restraint chair, children stripped and tear-gassed in youth detention in the Northern Territory. A royal commission into the infamous Don Dale detention centre began 10 years ago, promising a reckoning on the treatment and gross over-representation of Indigenous children in jail.

Albanese spoke of economic empowerment at Garma, but what he didn't address dominated the mood
Two years after the bruising rejection of the Voice referendum, the prime minister trekked north this weekend to a place pivotal in the long journey toward Indigenous rights and recognition. At Gulkula, the lush site of the Garma Festival, where the Yolŋu people have led with fire and heart for a better relationship between black and white Australia, he addressed crowds for the second time since his long-term dream of a unifying national moment was shattered.
Garma Festival hears NT government 'is not listening', should learn from Indigenous leaders and not play 'cheap politics'
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claims "the cheap politics of division" will not lead to solutions, saying "the way forward is to invest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people". Independent Mulka MP Yiŋiya Mark Guyula wants the NT government to achieve harmony with Indigenous communities, urging a rethink on the CLP's tough-on-crime rhetoric.
Prime minister 'missing in action' as Indigenous legal services call for national cabinet on deaths in custody
Indigenous legal services say the prime minister is "missing in action" and should convene a national cabinet meeting over rising Aboriginal incarceration rates and deaths in custody. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains the name of an Indigenous person who has died, used with the permission of their family. The case of 24-year-old Kumanjayi White has sparked grief and anger in Indigenous communities across the country.
Aboriginal people are grieving another death in custody at a time for reconciliation
In Australia's centre, a young Aboriginal man is held down by police officers in plain clothes on the floor of the confectionary aisle in Coles in Alice Springs. There is much we don't know, and may never know, but several important pieces of information are apparent. Kumanjayi White, a vulnerable young Warlpiri man with a disability, is dead in Reconciliation Week, at 24 years of age. Another seismic trauma for a family already in agony. Loading...
Indigenous leaders slam Queensland's 'egregious' youth justice, child protection systems
First Nations leaders have issued an extraordinary statement, saying they fear the Queensland government is trying to "destroy" Indigenous communities by forcibly transferring children from their families. The leaders — who include Marcia Langton, Mick Gooda, Alf Lacey, Dean Parkin and Vonda Malone — said the government is perpetuating “targeted harm” towards children caught in the “pipeline” between child protection and juvenile justice systems.
Aboriginal elder says Melbourne Storm told her Welcome to Country on Anzac Day would be 'inappropriate'
Victorian Aboriginal elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin says she was told by Melbourne Storm's CEO that performing a Welcome to Country at Friday's Anzac Day NRL match would be "inappropriate". The Wurundjeri elder said she was still yet to hear from the club about the hurt caused after the welcoming ceremony was cancelled just hours before it was due to be performed.
The hostility at Melbourne's Anzac Day echoes the exclusion of Australia’s black military history
By Bridget Brennan, ABC Analysis - Draped in a possum skin cloak against the black of the dawn, Uncle Mark Brown stood in front of thousands to honour the land on which the Shrine of Remembrance is built. As he attempted to pay respect to his ancestors, a small group of people tried to shout him down. "We don't need to be welcomed," they yelled. As Uncle Mark's voice rose, he continued his speech above the jeers, adopting a steely gaze out to the crowd, undeterred.

Inverell pool accused of 'discrimination' after calling police to remove Aboriginal children
Amnesty International is urgently calling on the NSW government to investigate allegations of discrimination after Aboriginal children were told to leave a public swimming pool in northern New South Wales. NSW Police were called to the Inverell Aquatic Centre on Sunday after reports from staff that some children were 'misbehaving', but parents allege all Aboriginal children were ordered out of the pool.
How much longer must Aboriginal women be maimed and murdered by domestic violence before Australia listens?
There is a sense of foreboding and desperate frustration in a call to action from the Northern Territory coroner — how much longer must we see Aboriginal women repeatedly maimed and murdered before Australia listens?
The inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women gave victims' families hope. How much longer can they wait for justice?
It is hard to imagine more harrowing testimony than that of heartbroken families of murdered and missing Aboriginal women. When you sit with the loved ones of Indigenous women who have been killed and then routinely let down by the press, police and politicians, you get an unvarnished look into the dark heart of Australia. Families who pleaded with police to search for the bodies of their sisters. Mothers who said goodbye to their daughters on a Saturday night and never saw them again.
Australian-first Treaty negotiations with Aboriginal Victorians are now 'live'. Jidah Clark says it's been decades in the making
For the first time in the nation's history, Aboriginal nations can start to formally request to enter a treaty with an Australian government. Victoria's Treaty Authority, an Australian-first body facilitating treaty talks across the state — has launched its database — the first official step towards treaty talks. The database will hold information detailing which land and waters a proposed treaty could cover, and the status of negotiations.
Crisis line went 'berserk' during Voice debate, as Indigenous people make 50,000 calls for help
The Indigenous-led national crisis hotline 13YARN says it's been inundated with tens of thousands of calls for help from First Nations people.

National Program manager Aunty Marjorie Anderson told ABC News Breakfast it was an "incredible milestone".
Beloved Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-Operative 'falling apart'
In short: An Aboriginal Health service in Melbourne's south-east is in disrepair despite pleas for help to both levels of government. The co-op is one of the oldest Aboriginal-run health services in Australia and is beloved by elders and families who meet there for connection. There is no adequate access for patients with a disability to enter some of the buildings. It is an area servicing one of the fastest-growing Indigenous populations in the country.

Too many Indigenous women live in fear of police and perpetrators. This is what we can do to change that
In what can feel like a never-ending loop, Australians are marching (again) for justice for women whose lives have been snatched away by violent men. But, for decades, Australia has covered its ears to the screams and cries of Indigenous women who have been let down by politicians, police and protest movements. The unimaginable terror that too many First Nations women have been subjected to must be at the heart of our national response to domestic violence if anything is going to change.
In her Bendigo backyard, Jacinta Allan read details of nearby massacres and felt shame and 'distress'
In short: Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has become the first leader of an Australian government to give evidence at an Indigenous-led truth-telling inquiry. Ms Allan told the Yoorrook Justice Commission she felt "a sense of shame and distress" learning of the brutal details of massacres near her home in central Victoria. What's next?
Live: Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan gives evidence to Yoorrook Indigenous truth-telling inquiry
As we've mentioned this morning, today's hearing comes after the premier made a visit to Coranderrk, north-east of Melbourne last week. Coranderrk is a former Aboriginal reserve established in 1863 on Wurundjeri country near the town of Healesville. "The Wurundjeri thought this is a good place … perfect flowing water … and it still is today," Aunty Jacqui Wandin said.
In an Australian first, Victoria's premier will sit before an Indigenous-led truth inquiry
In the heart of Wurundjeri country, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan was feeling the weight of history. "This is a deeply significant moment," she said. "We all as a community … need to understand the truth of the experience of First Peoples here in Victoria." Ms Allan spoke to the ABC from the historical site of Coranderrk, north-east of Melbourne, as she prepared to give evidence before the Yoorrook Justice Commission — Australia's first truth-telling inquiry.

The phone call that changed Aaron's life is a lesson for the nation
As office workers and school kids stepped onto his morning train in Perth's outer south-western suburbs, Aaron Taylor would stare out the window, wondering what might have been. "I used to cry on the train on the way to court looking at all the people dressed in suits going to work," he says.
After 11 years this family is closer to learning what happened to their loved one. Many others will never get answers
This week there was an important breakthrough in a long-running criminal case which is at the heart of an unfolding crisis that few Australians are aware of. Almost 11 years to the day after she went missing in Cape York, a man has been charged with the murder of Ms Bernard, a Kowanyama woman who was last seen in February 2013. Ms Bernard is one of hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have been murdered or who have gone missing in the past 25 years.

Winning the war against deadly fentanyl
Now, 30 years later, the fentanyl epidemic is claiming thousands of lives, and this time the drug itself is the killer. In 2022, fentanyl contributed to 81% of the 3,026 drug overdose deaths reported in New York City. That year, the city reported 434 homicides. In debates about how to curb today’s fentanyl epidemic, the legacy of the law enforcement response to the crack crisis, which resulted in unacceptably high incarceration rates, casts a long shadow.

Pat Dodson, a dignified diplomat, is a rare politician. He will leave behind a cavernous hole in Canberra
In what has often been a dispiriting year for his people, Senator Pat Dodson must have hoped his departure from Canberra aligned with a more hopeful outlook for reconciliation. It wasn't to be. Announcing his retirement, the "Father of Reconciliation" leaves an immense legacy, but the resounding No vote on the Voice was a reminder of divides that are still entrenched.

Indigenous leaders break their silence, call referendum defeat 'appalling and mean-spirited'
Indigenous leaders who supported the Yes case at last week’s Voice referendum have written to the prime minister saying the No vote was a “shameful victory”.
Is reconciliation really dead after the Voice to Parliament was voted down?
Aboriginal people are mourning the loss of a once-in-a-generation reach for reconciliation. October 14 will be forever etched in the history books as the day constitutional recognition died. There is no political will, and no mandate, to see another push towards inclusion of First Nations in the constitution. In Indigenous communities, hearts have broken and hopes have faded. A lot of Aboriginal people — especially in regional areas — have told me they don't want to go outside.
'We thought Australia can't be this bad': Elders grieve Voice referendum result
Kamilaroi man Uncle John Delaney sits on the porch of his Campbelltown home, reflecting on his years on this earth. "It's been a happy life, a sad life and a disappointing life. I've been around for 90 summers and I've seen a lot come and go," he said. During his life, the 89-year-old has experienced many of the challenges that often plague his people. The resounding defeat of the Voice referendum is one in a long line of setbacks he has witnessed.
With the defeat of the Voice referendum, it's the beginning of the end of a bruising era in black politics
We are witnessing a profound moment in the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's struggle with this nation. Indigenous people went with a lump in their throat to the Australian people, asking for a place in a document written for a nation state that once tried to wipe out its original nations. They were rebuffed. It's now the beginning of the end of a bruising era in black politics.
'The No campaign did not win this referendum. It was the Yes campaign that lost it'
Posted 5 minutes ago As Australians begin to comprehend the defeat of the Indigenous Voice referendum, First Nations people are beginning to feel the collective weight of the decision. In Queensland, Aunty Mary Burgess, a Goenpul elder from Minjerribah, North Stradbroke Island, says the referendum result is painful for Aboriginal communities. "I felt sad for the Yes vote, but also I'm happy for the No vote.

Elders say the racism of this year is some of the worst they've ever seen. Indigenous people deserve so much more
This weekend, Australia will write a new chapter in the long struggle for Indigenous rights. The world is watching. No matter a Yes or No, we must confront some fundamental questions as a nation in two days' time. Do we believe the oldest living culture on earth should have a say on its continuity? Is this the final chapter of a 20-year debate on constitutional recognition? As an Aboriginal person, it feels impossible to digest the freight train of messages coming towards us each day.
'We still seem to be carrying that baggage': For Uncle Gary, a national Voice is a crucial step in addressing dispossession
Uncle Gary Murray is an activist who comes from a strong line of Aboriginal leaders in Victoria. He is a Dhudhuroa, Yorta Yorta, Barapa Barapa, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wamba Wemba, Wergaia, Wiradjeri and Waywurru man. He spoke to ABC News about his decision to vote Yes in the Voice referendum — a position he is taking because, he says, it is crucial that an Indigenous representative body has permanency.
A change of heart, a black no and a reluctant yes: How Aboriginal people see the Voice
As tens of thousands of Australians marched proudly in support of a referendum on an Indigenous Voice last month, an enormous "Vote No" banner was unfurled across the Victoria Bridge in Brisbane. The words were emblazoned across the Aboriginal flag, and Boe Spearim, a Gamilaraay and Kooma man, watched as people took in his message.

A bruising week for Indigenous people as the nation debates the Voice and opens old wounds
A month out from a referendum and it might be the ugliest week Aboriginal people have been subjected to in what can feel like an interminable campaign. The debate over the creation of a Indigenous advisory body has burst into a cacophony of noise, misinformation, confusion and abuse. While the nation debates our right to a place in the constitution, as an Aboriginal person, it's hard not to feel like it's a fight over our rights. Yet another one.
