It comes after Deputy State Coroner Christine Clements closed sittings on Monday at the makeshift court on the north Queensland island after a local witness, Barbara Pilot, became distressed.
"This is a very, very big ordeal for a community person," Ms Kyle told ABC radio on Tuesday.
She said that local witnesses should be soothed by someone who knows how to speak their language, or touched to make "whoever feel comfortable".
Members of the media and locals, some of whom expressed anger at the decision, were forced to wait outside as gave her evidence.
The inquest is hearing evidence into the death of a 36-year-old man who died in the police watchhouse in November 2004.
An initial autopsy showed the man suffered a ruptured liver and four broken ribs following a scuffle with arresting officer Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley.
The results later sparked a riot in which Palm Island's police station and residential barracks were torched.
