Australia has a long history of mistreating Aboriginals, the original inhabitants of this land, and the indigenous people of our land, with whom we have shown little respect.

An Aboriginal trans-woman, Ms Baxter was placed in an all male, maximum security jail and was found hung in her cell on March 16th 2009, only six days after her arrival. She is another black death in custody. Over a year later, no Coroner's Report has yet revealed the cause of death. We call on the NSW Government to conduct a full, open inquiry into Ms Baxter's death.
