First Australians: Part 8

Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) experience contact with the criminal justice system – as both offenders and victims – at much higher rates than non-Indigenous Australians. Rates of violent victimisation among Indigenous Australians are two to three times higher than rates among non-Indigenous Australians and this rises to four to six times higher in the case of family violence..

Protesters gather for a march organised by Grandmothers Against Removals (GMAR) to mark Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day, Sydney, Friday, August 4, 2017. The march is a collaboration with Dylan Voller, who came to national attention one year ago when Four Corners detailed his incarceration and torture by the state.
