Podcasts about aboriginal deaths

Donald J. Trump is now officially the first former president in US history to go to criminal trial. So what happens next? We go inside the Manhattan courtroom where the landmark case is playing out. Plus, the number of indigenous Australians dying while in police custody has hit a record-high, and the Wahs are walloped in the NRL - where to now for the Warriors' season?

The Federal Government has introduced real time reporting of deaths in custody in an attempt to stop people dying behind bars and in police custody. But families of those who have died, academics and politicians say more needs to be done to stop Indigenous deaths in custody.

She discusses the 2017 death in custody of much-loved Yorta Yorta mother Tanya Day, and also her work over the past two years reviewing the culture of correctional services. Next, Marisa is joined by Nerita Waight, CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS), who provides a comprehensive summary of the findings of Coronial Inquest of the death in custody of Veronica Nelson, which were handed down last Monday, 30 January 2023. Finally, Marisa interviews Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition, who calls for a full investigation on the suspected suicide of the young detainee found hanging in Villawood Detention Centre, the fourth or fifth since 2019 at this centre alone.

She discusses the limited adoption of the recommendations outlined in the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody over 30 years ago, and how not only are Aboriginal men women and children increasingly disproportionately imprisoned, but also now six times more likely to die in custody on average.  Last up on today's program, Marisa invites Uncle Kelvin on the program to discuss several topics all coming back to the need for unity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, including "Australia Day", and his perspectives on processes affecting incarceration rates and the facets of the Voice to Parliament. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for further coverage on the Findings of the Coronial Inquest of Veronica Nelson.

Raul also spoke about Gail Hickey, TJ's mother, and her overwhelming grief and frustration that a proper investigation has been refused for TJ's death, despite taking things to the United Nations. Marisa also interviewed Professor Bronwyn Carlson, from the Department of Indigenous Studies at Macquarie University, about police investigating police, deaths in custody and the Deathscapes website, which documents deaths in custody, . Then Marisa heard from Cheryl Kaulfuss, representing ISJA Melbourne, who conveyed a heartfelt message of solidarity support to the family of TJ Hickey, and talked about the ongoing persecution of police who in every way block the family from investigating TJ's death. Cheryl spoke about how over the years, in the words of Warrior Ray Jackson who has since passed away but was a staunch supporter of the Hickey family, "Redfern Police continue to refuse to allow the installation of the Commemorative Plaque to be installed at the fenceline where TJ was impaled as a result of his bicycle being rammed by a police vehicle. The police want to see this as an accident. That will never happen". Cheryl spoke about police investigating police and how important and powerful the Redfern rallies are that happen every year on TJ's death. We note that it is uncertain whether the Plaque has even been installled yet.

This week the Australian Institute of Criminology told the Senate it would report on Aboriginal deaths in custody every six months, up from every two years. Lorena Allam and Calla Wahlquist explain why this matters and what led to this win for families who have campaigned for decades

2021 is the 30 year anniversary of the delivery of the findings of the Royal Commissioner into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Since March this year 5 number of Aboriginal people have died in custody across the country. Ending Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, reducing the over representation of Aboriginal people in custody, is still a demand for social movements in Australia. With all this in the background, the coronial inquiry into the death of Aboriginal man, Wayne Fella Morrison, is currently underway in Adelaide. The inquest has exposed, yet again, the abhorrent and racist treatment of Aboriginal people in custody, and the deplorable lack of regard for their health and wellbeing. Latoyo Rule is the sister of Wayne Morrison, she is a party in the coronial inquest, and she is an anti-carceral activist. She is the edition's guest on Accent of Women

On the 30th anniversary of the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody being handed down, the most recent statistics show that Aboriginal people that die in police custody are more likely to have committed a low-level offence.

Instead of our regular podcast this week Hunting Seasons would like to highlight the most recent episode of The Gays are Revolting podcast, which discusses systemic racism in the police force with indigenous journalist Allan Clarke. It’s an honest and frank discussion, one which highlights the blatant devaluing of aboriginal lives, the lack of empathy for indigenous victims of police brutality, and the failings of all white Australians to take notice and demand change.Follow Allan Clarke for updates on his work via Twitter: https://twitter.com/allanjclarkeThank you to The Gays Are Revolting for conducting and letting us share their interview with Allan Clarke.

Find more episodes via lips.media or Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-gays-are-revolting/id1410548625Brod and I have had many conversations about how we can show our support for the Black Lives Matter movement, people of colour all over the world, and of course the indigenous people of the land where we live; whose lives have been affected by our ancestors and by our own complacency every day. Brod and I both agree that the best thing we can do in the present is promote indigenous voices, offer resources for education, and suggest causes you can support financially.We ourselves are open to more suggestions. As white people we are conscious of our privilege and are dedicated to furthering our education and using the power that we have to do as much as we can.For those that are looking for more content we suggest the books: 'Dark Emu' by Bruce Pascoe, 'Welcome to Country' by Marcia Langton'Too Much Lip' by Melissa Lucashenko'The Swan Book' by Alexis Wright. There are so many more, so please take the time to discover indigenous writers. If you want to give money there are plenty of great organisations and causes. Some that I would suggest are: FreeHer on GoFundMe, which helps free Aboriginal mothers who are imprisoned for unpaid fines: https://au.gofundme.com/f/bfvnvt-freethepeopleVictorian Aboriginal Legal Service, which is an Aboriginal community controlled organisation providing community justice services and legal practice services to all Victorian Aboriginal communities (there are equivalent services for other Australian states and territories): https://vals.org.au/Change the Record - Addresses the root cause of indigenous incarceration and works to prevent imprisonment: https://changetherecord.org.au/Deadly Connections - Works with those that have been impacted by the justice system or child protective services: https://www.deadlyconnections.org.au/First Peoples Disability Network Australia - Its purpose is to promote respect for human rights, secure social justice, and empower First Peoples with disability to participate in Australian society on an equal basis with others: https://fpdn.org.au/There are so many worthy causes, foundations, and organisations out there.

In today's show highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement, I'm sharing interviews and statements from family members of First Nations people who have died in custody. Since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody report was released in 1987, 432 Aboriginal people in so-called Australia have been killed while in police custody. There is an interview with Latoya Aroha Rule whose brother Wayne Fella Morrison died in 2016 and one with Chante Walker whose sister Veronica Nelson Walker died in custody on January 2nd, 2020. Lastly, I share a recording of speakers from a rally in solidarity with the Yuendumu community following the death of Kumanjayi Walker, who was shot in November, 2019.Photo credit: Kate Ausburn - https://www.flickr.com/photos/treslola/6368127913

Over the past week, American citizens have taken to the streets in passionate, angry protest against police brutality toward African-American people. The murder of Black man George Floyd by a white police officer was a lightning-rod moment, sparking widespread anger into action.  It’s easy to see stories of America on the news and think that this is a problem for someone else, somewhere else.   Police brutality and racial violence against Aboriginal people is a crisis right here in Australia, tearing families and communities apart.  432 Aboriginal people have been killed in police custody since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Not a single police officer has ever been held criminally responsible for these Aboriginal deaths. Just this week, a police officer in NSW was stood down after he slammed an unarmed Aboriginal teenager’s face into the pavement.  We don't want to brush over this issue. We are uneducated. We want to learn more. We want to listen. Nerita Waight from the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service sat down with us to start us on our journey in understanding the plight of indigenous people in Australia.

The death of George Floyd has shocked many in Australia, but it has also shone a spotlight on Australia’s history of Aboriginal deaths in custody.

This interview is with Katrina Bourke of Katrina Bourke coaching, who you may remember from way back in Series 2. We talk about schools around Australia returning to on campus learning for all students, and the way that transition is playing out for teachers and leaders and school staff, and what we can do individually and collectively to support ourselves and each other during that transition and the challenges of the ongoing uncertainty around the way the school system and the COVID-19 crisis will continue to unfold. I really wanted to release this episode this week because I believe it’s important, timely conversation for educators as schools navigate this current transition, which is happening right now.But before we get to that interview, I want to take a moment to pause and acknowledge something else happening right now. If you’re listening to this episode at the time of its release, in the first week of June 2020, there are protests in the USA this week following the murder of George Floyd in police custody, which is following on from a long list of police brutality against BIPOC, black, indigenous and people of colour, and I want to acknowledge the hurt and trauma and injustice of that. To my US listeners, particularly African American listeners, I am thinking of you. Black lives matter.In Australia, it’s also Reconciliation Week and we have our own black lives matter movement because we also police brutality here. According to the Guardian Australia’s Deaths Inside project, there have been “at least 432 Aboriginal deaths in custody since the royal commission in 1991.” If this is news to you, or even if it’s not, I will put a couple of links in the description of this episode that I recommend you read for the Australian context of this, because it gets so little media or public attention here. I acknowledge and recognise the pain and trauma of this injustice for Aboriginal people here in Australia too.If you’re following @selfcareforteachers on social media you may have seen that this week I am participating in the #amplifymelanatedvoiceschallenge, which is about centering the voices and lived experiences of folks of colour, so I’m not posting my own content on social media this week. I’m sharing the work of BIPOC teachers and leaders and content creators in my stories, and listening and learning, reflecting on my privilege and how I can unpack that going forwards. This isn’t a one and done thing, it will be ongoing internal work for me and for all of us to unravel how society conditions us and what we allow to continue at the expense of black and indigenous lives. I want to say also that I don’t need praise for this, it’s not about me, and I’m not at all sure of the right response but I know that ignoring this and saying nothing would be wrong. I support the #blacklivesmatter movement, it is a matter of human rights. To my listeners who are white, I invite you to spend some time reading and learning about it, too. Start with the links below and then keep learning, and listening to the lived experiences of folks of colour.Links Ellen mentioned:Amplify Melanated Voices Challenge by @jessicawilson.msrd and @blackandembodiedGuardian Article about Aboriginal Deaths in CustodyWe must bear witness to black deaths in our own country by Amy McGuire75 things white people can do for racial justice but Corinne ShutackLinks mentioned in the interview:Connect with Katrina on LinkedIn or Facebook, or at https://www.katrinabourkecoaching.com.auKatrina’s Series 2 interview https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=149938Finale of Season 5 where I cover Satir Change Model https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=651613Kristen Neff and Self-Compassion https://self-compassion.org/

Presented by Adjunct Professor Muriel Bamblett Hon DLittSW AM on Thursday 17 August 2017. Full title: Walking in two worlds: Can Reconciliation lead us together onto a single pathway for a more just and equitable outcomes for all?The Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA) celebrates forty years since our founding this year. In 1991 when the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody made its recommendation about a Reconciliation process to address the alienation of Aboriginal people in our own land, we were barely fifteen years old yet much of that report focused on failings in child and family welfare. Our struggle to address the disproportionate removal of our kids from our families led us into fields of service and endeavour we did not expect to go down, nevertheless the path we chose – at times found ourselves on – has brought us to a point where we have shaped child welfare in this country. VACCA’s services reflect the beginnings of an Aboriginal model of child and family welfare that is based on the principle of the right of Aboriginal people to self-determination. Forty years on and we are now working in partnership with a state government and a sector that is determined to apply the principle of self-determination to Aboriginal affairs most notably through its discussions with us about a Treaty. What all this means for Swinburne University will be one of the issues that the Oration will tackle.
