Public meeting

Injustice Queensland Style: Learning the lessons from Palm Island!

It is now almost six years since the death in custody on Palm Island of Mulrunji whose “crime” was to comment on an arrest, sing a song and continue on his way when told to do so. What happened is now well known — a coronial inquiry found that police officer, Chris Hurley, struck Mulrunji with such force the blow killed him. Hurley received compensation and a promotion while respected community leader, Lex Wotton, was jailed. After 19 months behind bars, Lex is now free, but politically muzzled. Lex has extraordinary parole conditions imposed: he is banned from speaking to the media or at public meetings! Come to a meeting to discuss the truth the state of Queensland wants buried! Join the campaign to lift the gag on Lex.

Speakers:
Naomi Prior, a Palm Island sister
Tamar Hopkins, Flemington Kensington Community Legal Service
Mary Micallef, for the Indigenous Social Justice Association
