Indigenous murder inquiry ‘weak’

‘LITTLE JUSTICE’ FOR INDIGENOUS WOMEN, CHILDREN

The recommendations made in the final report from the Senate inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children have been criticised for not going far enough. Yesterday, the landmark report said there had been “little, if any, justice” for many Indigenous women and children who had been murdered or disappeared, Guardian Australia said.

In response, Greens Senator Dorinda Cox, who introduced the motion for the inquiry and was a member of the committee, said: “These recommendations are weak and are not the bold and courageous action First Nations communities and stakeholders called for when they entrusted us with their courageous stories and shared the pain and the trauma they live with every day,” the AAP reports.
