Another inquiry into high incarceration rates for Indigenous Australians

Another inquiry.  It should be welcomed but since the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Inquiry years ago the incarceration rates have increased.

I heard Senator Pat Dodson welcome the inquiry but he reminded us that things have to change out in the communities in health and education.  Senator I respect you deeply and we need leaders like you to tell us what to do.  Along with the other great indigenous leaders give us an action plan that the federal and state governments and their oppositions must take on board acting in a bipartisan way.

All Australians I hope are frustrated that so many indigenous Australians are locked up often for things like failure to pay fines.

Enough already!
