Real-time reporting of Indigenous custody deaths launched

Published 21 June 2023, 8:59 am
The Federal Government has introduced real-time reporting of deaths in custody. The initiative aims to make state and territory governments more accountable for their criminal justice systems, and inevitably reduce the number of people dying behind bars or in police custody. But families of those who have died, advocates, academics and politicians say more needs to be done to address this issue. A warning to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers that this report contains images of people who have died.
