Good morning from Boon Wurrung Country. At 10:30am Coroner Simon McGregor will hand down the findings from the coronial inquest into the death in custody of Veronica Nelson. Shortly, there will be a smoking ceremony outside of the coroner’s court. #JusticeForVeronicaNelson

The Coroner refers to the statutory amendments to bail Act, enacted in 2017 & 2018…noting that these amendments “make it more difficult for all people to access bail with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people, particularly women being disproportionately affected”

Re-upping this in light of #JusticeForVeronicaNelson

Seeking permissions for the citation of David Henderson’s poem ‘Keep on Pushin’ and Baraka’s Black People! in a chapter for a collection on riot poems. Anyone have any leads on publishers - running into endless dead ends?

This is happening this morning at 9am (Sydney time)
