'It doesn't matter how you're brought into the police or prison systems, they have a duty of care. Who do I blame? I blame the system!' — Troy Brady #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa

'This is a result of how abuse of power can lead to children being alienated and targeted to the point where they can't live a life as a child growing up.' — #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years, Aunty Rosemary Roe

'They fail to see us and to hear us...It's very painful. These are families, we share strikingly similar stories. It's difficult every time we share stories of our loved ones, and to hear of other people dying in custody.' — @LouiseApryl #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa

'How many of us have to die in custody before it comes to an end? We've seen with coronial inquests that they're always flawed and inadequate. I believe the best people to put an investigative model forward are the families.' — @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum @dhadjowa

'At times, I think the mood has changed. There's growing support in our community, but not in the mainstream community and not in government support. There's been no media outrage — outside of our communities it's radio silence. It's disheartening.' — @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years

'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.' — @AmyThunig #RCIADIC30Years #thedrum

'Why won't the Prime Minister meet with the families who have lost their loved ones? They're not listening. They don't want it to change.' — @AmyThunig #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum

'RCIADIC challenged systems [broader than criminal legal systems] that we're still talking about now. Sometimes the first contact with police for an Aboriginal young person was when they were removed from their families.' — Justin Mohamed #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years

'It's always easier for governments to play the blame game. They don't want to look at themselves. But it's on every individual in them to look at what's happening. Our people are dying in horrific circumstances. — @LouiseApryl #TheDrum #RCIADIC30Years @dhadjowa

'We've asked for the PM to sit down with us, those calls were rejected. We will continue to ask. It's not good enough. 474 deaths. That's just since the Royal Commission. The trauma of what our families are facing, it's hard to live with.' @LouiseApryl #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum

'I look at my daughters, and my nieces and nephews, and I think: is this what they have to live with, this trauma?' @LouiseApryl on her family's decades-long intergenerational work for justice. @dhadjowa #RCIADIC30Years #TheDrum
