Malmsbury Expansion | NSW Police Excessive Force Claims | National Commission for First Peoples Children |
from Doin Time · host Marisa, Katie Kiss, David Murray, Samantha Lee
Content warning: This Episode of Doin' Time contains audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and graphic discussion of deaths in custody. Today on the show we were first joined by Samantha Lee, Assistant Principal Solicitor at Redfern Legal Centre about NSW Police's response to the Palestine Action Group rally in Sydney calling for an independent review of NSW Police conduct. Redfern Legal Centre calls on the Commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force, Mal Lanyon, to stand down officers whose use of force at the protest appears excessive, based on the available footage.Following that, Marisa interviewed David Murray, Strategic Projects Lead from Jesuit Social Services, about the expansion of Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre -- which is a significant investment at the wrong end of the system, using money that would be far better spent on evidence-based solutions that prevent crime from occurring.Then we heard from Katie Kiss, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner to discuss a new bill to establish a National Commission for First Peoples children, which is welcomed by top human rights advocates. Katie is a proud Kaanju and Birri/Widi woman who grew up in Rockhampton, Central Queensland, on the lands of the Darumbal people.
