From the Northern Territory,

Hello I’m a bit nervous up here speaking in front of a lot of people. But I just want to tell you about my struggle for justice, it’s been nearly thirteen years now since my husband was unlawfully held in custody for sixty days murdered and hung twice and we had a Royal Commission that cost fifty million dollars, they spent fifty million dollars of tax payers money on nothing but a cover up and a fraud. So I have been fighting so much it has just about taken my life and my children’s lives and I decided that I’ll give my life if I have to die for justice I’m prepared to die for justice because we have to stand up against corruption against police and prison officers. Out there are good police and prison officers but also there are the corrupt ones and these ones think they are a law unto themselves. They can murder and unlawfully hold people in custody, they can take peoples lives regardless of colour and I know this happens to a lot of White people as well as Aboriginal people. And when it touches you when someone like the police and prison officers murder your own this when you decide you have to stand up and do something about it. So I have been to Prime Ministers and I have had my own people in powerful positions ignore me but I told these people even my own that I believe in a God and the bible talks about the breaking of Kings that rise up against him, so I have faith in a God to keep my faith that one day if I kept pressing ahead something must happen because the pain that I feel will never be erased from my heart what happened to Doug and I know out there are countless, I wouldn’t be able to count the families that are suffering like me and I know it is not only Aboriginal people it’s non-Aboriginal people and if we don’t unite together to do something about this there will be no change we only going to hear about murders that the government puts on the Internet and tells you people and people all around the world Aboriginal people hang themselves, that they get depressed and they go and kill themselves. But I’ll tell you Aboriginal people love life and we don’t go around wanting to take our own lives we love life and we are going to stand up and fight against this and I have been waiting for thirteen years to try to get some money to fight and it is only about two weeks ago that I finally got some money to take this to court and I am going through a civil case at the moment in the Northern Territory and I’m dealing with a statement of claim that will have unlawful incarceration, murder, and I want conspiracy to pervert the course of justice because Australia has to know the truth Aboriginal people do not kill themselves, some of our people might have but not all our people and I want you people who wants justice to help me to stand up and fight against this sort of thing. They are talking about reconciliation but if we don’t have justice you may as well forget about reconciliation.

That’s all I have got to say thank You!
