Opinion by Anthony Dillon OPINION Proponents of the Uluru Statement from the Heart want a process of truth-telling about Australia s history and colonisation. I am fine with that, so long as the accounts of the past are not some sanitised version, but are a warts n all account. Given that this month marks the 30th anniversary of the final report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, I think it s time we had some truth telling on this subject; because there is a lot of misinformation out there, leading some to refer to it as a festering crisis.

During March and up until recently, I saw several interviews or articles focusing on recent Aboriginal deaths in custody. This was mostly due to there being a spike in March in Aboriginal deaths in custody, and so rightly attracted a lot of attention. However, the responses were far from objective, and used to promote the false narrative that Aboriginal people in custody are at an elevated risk of dying than non-Aboriginal people in custody
