"On Monday, coroner McGregor will hand down his findings into Nelson’s death, a case so shocking it has managed to cut through previous political ambivalence to force a conversation about reform of Victoria’s strict bail laws."

#JusticeForVeronicaNelson
"The government officials initially tasked with reviewing Nelson’s death did not identify the way jail staff, including Correct Care and Corrections Victoria employees, failed in their duties."

#JusticeForVeronicaNelson
"...the actions of Correct Care Australasia in neglecting to deliver healthcare to Nelson & then covering up this failure must surely cause a rethink on the use of for-profit providers.."

Counsel for Brown family: Now, Sergeant Frost was, of course, stressed and fatigued at this stage?

Nobbs: Correct.

Q: Now, at one point, she expressed to you that she was afraid the police station would be set on fire with the police in it. Do you recall that?

A: Yes.
Q: As you pointed out to her at the time and you told police officers in your interview, there was zero evidence or information to suggest that?

You can find the full transcript here: justice.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/…

#Justice4Walker
Sgt King is cross-examined by Mr Edwardson.

E: [Y]ou would have required a community police officer to be in your presence or to accompany you ideally when you went in the community that night?

MK: If we were out there looking to arrest someone, yes...

#Justice4Walker
Regarding the chain of command for the plans made on the day.

E: [U]ltimately the chain of command goes from then to Sergeant Frost who in turn goes up in this case to Superintendent Nobbs who in turn goes up to Assistant Commissioner Wurst?

MK: Yeah, I’d agree with that.

Good afternoon, today is the second day of the coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker which is taking place on Arrernte Country, Mparntwe. Please join the family in solidarity by listening in via the live stream: justice.nt.gov.au/attorney-gener…
The first person to take the stand is Peggy Dwyer who is counsel assisting the coroner. She begins with some contextual comments about the poor conditions within prisons in the Northern Territory and the Don Dale Royal Commission.
Dwyer tells the court that the lack of appropriate services and poor conditions within youth detention centres contributes to the potential for harm of children and young people who already suffer from trauma. #Justice4Walker
