22.01.2022 Why are our people still dying in horrible, preventable situations in police custody? Enough is enough! #StopDeathsInCustodyNOW Ten years ago, Mulrunji was the 147th Aboriginal death in custody since the end of the Royal Commission in 1992. Despite that they will not be forgotten, Mulrunji and so many others will never return but what has changed for the better? Recently, a 22-year-old Yamatji woman became the 340th death in custody. 100 deaths in custody over a ten year per...iod to 1992, then even more deaths, nearly 150 over 12 years to Mulrunji’s death, and nearly 200 deaths in the ten years since. Why are deaths in custody rising? On November 19, 2004, Mulrunji was walking his dog on Palm Island, and he was singing ‘Who let the dogs out?’ Seargent Craig Hurley who was driving by slowed down and took exception, instead of moving on. Only a little while later, Mulrunji would be lying dead on a police cell floor. The autopsy by Coroner Michael Barnes reported Mulrunji suffered four broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and ruptured liver. He died from an intra-abdominal haemorrhage caused by a ruptured liver and portal vein. He died because he was bashed. http://thestringer.com.au/mulrunji-ten-years-ago-the-147th-

22.01.2022 The government has breached human rights by allowing four Indigenous men with disabilities to be incarcerated in the Northern Territory despite not being found guilty of crimes, the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has found. The Commonwealth dismissed the judgment by the HRC, which found multiple abuses of the human rights of the men, claiming the HRC had acted outside its jurisdiction by launching the inquiry in the first place. http://www.theguardian.com//jailing-four-not-guilty-indige

18.01.2022 My first foray into being in front of the camera, I definitely think I prefer directing :) This is 'Losing the Dreaming' featuring Uncle Bill O'Brien http://youtu.be/r4uwDLI4n9o

17.01.2022 Is it standard practice for the court to call for police protection when non-Aboriginal people fill a court gallery?? #RacismAliveAndWell http://m.dailyexaminer.com.au//a-show-of-support-/2441011/

14.01.2022 Out of all of the training I have done in the last couple of years one my favourite comments came from an Armidale Elder who came to one of my Dementia & Our Mob programs. As I finished up he asked "Is that it? What you done already?" I said 'Yes Uncle unless you've got any questions, why?' He said "First time ever I came to one of these stupid health days that I actually learnt something and I wasn't sick of listening to you yet!" #MadeMyDay :)

05.01.2022 An article featuring me :) from Alzheimers Australia NSW Aboriginal Engagement Strategy Launch.

05.01.2022 Eminent Aboriginal elder Patrick Dodson has lashed the Abbott government's decision to cease funding for essential services in remote communities, a move that has contributed to one state government proposing to close 150 communities. Professor Dodson, known as the father of Aboriginal reconciliation and who authored a review of small communities known as outstations or homelands, for the NT government in 2009, said the move would make Aboriginal people refugees in their own country and threaten ancient living cultures. http://www.theage.com.au//patrick-dodson-warns-aboriginal-

03.01.2022 Doesn't matter how many times I hear Uncle Archie Roach sing this, it breaks my heart to hear the pain in his voice. To make it worse our children are still being taken away at 15 times the rate of the Stolen Generation. When do we start standing up and saying no more???!!... https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=zLXzKYP1uCw

02.01.2022 Mundine, Langdon & Pearson are essentially appointed Aboriginal leaders without followers. The question must be asked though 'What are they leading us towards?' The answer to that is complete and total assimilation, which is why the Aboriginal people will never support them. http://m.canberratimes.com.au//noel-pearson-is-a-great-ora

01.01.2022 Koori Circle sentencing to be implemented at Parramatta children's court. Do you think this will help reduce the risk of our kids re-offending? http://m.dailytelegraph.com.au//story-fngr8huy-12271209239
