& #39;It doesn& #39;t matter how you& #39;re brought into the police or prison systems, they have a duty of care. Who do I blame? I blame the system!& #39; — Troy Brady #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa
& #39;This is a result of how abuse of power can lead to children being alienated and targeted to the point where they can& #39;t live a life as a child growing up.& #39; — #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years, Aunty Rosemary Roe
& #39;They fail to see us and to hear us...It& #39;s very painful. These are families, we share strikingly similar stories. It& #39;s difficult every time we share stories of our loved ones, and to hear of other people dying in custody.& #39; — @LouiseApryl #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa
& #39;How many of us have to die in custody before it comes to an end? We& #39;ve seen with coronial inquests that they& #39;re always flawed and inadequate. I believe the best people to put an investigative model forward are the families.& #39; — @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum @dhadjowa
& #39;At times, I think the mood has changed. There& #39;s growing support in our community, but not in the mainstream community and not in government support. There& #39;s been no media outrage — outside of our communities it& #39;s radio silence. It& #39;s disheartening.& #39; — @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years
& #39;The NSW Police set up the Suspect Target Management Program, a list of people they thought might commit offences. They would interrogate, harass and follow them. The youngest on that list was nine.& #39; — @AmyThunig #RCIADIC30Years #thedrum
& #39;Why won& #39;t the Prime Minister meet with the families who have lost their loved ones? They& #39;re not listening. They don& #39;t want it to change.& #39; — @AmyThunig #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum
& #39;RCIADIC challenged systems [broader than criminal legal systems] that we& #39;re still talking about now. Sometimes the first contact with police for an Aboriginal young person was when they were removed from their families.& #39; — Justin Mohamed #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years
& #39;It& #39;s always easier for governments to play the blame game. They don& #39;t want to look at themselves. But it& #39;s on every individual in them to look at what& #39;s happening. Our people are dying in horrific circumstances. — @LouiseApryl #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa
& #39;We& #39;ve asked for the PM to sit down with us, those calls were rejected. We will continue to ask. It& #39;s not good enough. 474 deaths. That& #39;s just since the Royal Commission. The trauma of what our families are facing, it& #39;s hard to live with.& #39; @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum
& #39;I look at my daughters, and my nieces and nephews, and I think: is this what they have to live with, this trauma?& #39; @LouiseApryl on her family& #39;s decades-long intergenerational work for justice. @dhadjowa #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum
