Talk:Aboriginal deaths in custody

message: Hi Wikipedians
I'm wondering if the last paragraph in the article on the SA Police Association's (ill considered) effort to change the definition of 'Deaths in Custody' is worth keeping.  Yes it is accurate and may have felt worth writing about at the time.  But given that nothing came of the move, and it only came from the Police Union of one state, I wonder if it merits recording.  This article is rather long and cluttered as it is and I feel  could benefit from some judicious trimming.  What do people think? Rbngrss 2022 (talk) 13:48, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Benvenuto and other Wikipedians
In point of fact if TJ Hickey was being pursued by the police this would count as a 'death in custody' and be one of the near 500 odd even though TJ himself never entered custody.  This is a point that needs to be made more explicitly and clearly in the article.  Actually, the police  denied they were even looking for him which the coroner accepted but don't tell the crabby activists that! Rbngrss 2022 (talk) 08:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

message: This has been removed, rightly in my view, from the article, but I think it can be left here on the talk page:
"The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation draws your attention to the cultural sensitivity of issues and material in the individual death reports of the Royal Commission. The Council asks that, in accessing and using these reports, you be aware of this and of the sensitivities of the living relatives and friends of those whose deaths are recorded in these documents."

message: "For example, in 2009, an Indigenous Australian is 14 times more likely to be in prison than a non-Indigenous Australian, and in 2009, 25% of prisoners in Australia were Indigenous. Approximately 18% of deaths in custody in Australia between 1990 and 2007 were of Indigenous people."
These stats cover different periods of time and suggest that indigenous deaths are proportionally less than non-indigenous deaths. Isn't this the opposite of what the Commission was investigating? Stats that cover the same period are required that represent the issue. Ledpup (talk) 09:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
