Evictions of Aboriginal families in Perth under scrutiny, as FOI documents released

Nicole Shegog turns her head away and the tears start to fall as she recalls a bailiff appearing on her doorstep in Perth's southern suburbs in the run up to Christmas 2015.
It was late in the day and according to Ms Shegog, the man handed a letter to her goddaughter, who was 14 at the time, saying the family had until the morning to leave as the locks were being changed at 10am the next day.
