I would like to inform the chamber that three other Aboriginal people have died in custody since Miss Dhu's death and that there is yet to be an inquest into the deaths of those three Aboriginal people or a date set for their deaths. Miss Dhu is one of a large number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who continue to die in custody and, because people do not necessarily know how to raise the issue, their deaths, unfortunately, are not being followed up by inquests. It is really important that we recognise that fact.
