The sculpture, by contemporary Australian artist Reko Rennie, is described as a ‘memorial to the 551 Aboriginal people who have died in police custody since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody final report was submitted in 1991’. AFPPIX: Protesters rallied Saturday against the disproportionate number of Aboriginal Australians dying behind bars, highlighting their plight as the nation prepares for a historic Indigenous rights referendum.
The proposal -- dubbed the Indigenous Voice to Parliament -- would also give First Nations peoples a greater say in national policymaking. With national debate increasingly dominated by the October 14 vote, the Black Sovereign Movement is instead urging the country to focus on more pressing issues -- such as Indigenous deaths in custody.
Since 1991 more than 500 Aboriginal Australians have died in state custody, a trend lamented by the current centre-left government as a “national shame”.Recent surveys show about 60 percent of Australians are against the Voice to Parliament, versus 40 percent in support -- a near reversal of the situation a year ago.
