The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody report will be 30yrs old next April. That's a whole generation, but the recommendations still haven't been implemented. Our people continue to die because of the governments failures. #RCIADIC
It's important to remember the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody was called because of Black activism. There was mob-led movement after 16-yo John Pat died in 1983, followed by more deaths in custody. Aunty Helen Corbett took it to the UN in 1987. #RCIADIC
The Royal Commission looked at 99 Black deaths in custody between 1980-1989, with so many deaths before that which go unrecorded. Black deaths in custody have been happening since invasion. Theres now been more than 439 Aboriginal deaths in custody since #RCIADIC report in 1991
