Another day in the colony - another murdered Aboriginal woman and no one held accountable. Can’t share any links to articles because they are all so dehumanising. She and her family deserve better. Inquiry set down for September this year.

Where is the Brazilian government?
I just spoke to indigenous leader in the Javari region of Brazil. He told me there were now 25 indigenous searchers out on river looking for Dom & Bruno but v little in way of government response. "It's horrible, terrible," he said. "But we're doing all we can to find them"
