Bipartisan support needed to reverse Indigenous imprisonment | Australian Human Rights Commission

The over-representation of Indigenous Australians in the criminal justice system is one of the most urgent human rights issues facing Australia, says the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Mick Gooda. The Commissioner's 2014 Social Justice and Native Title Report urges governments to adopt justice reinvestment as a way to reduce the Indigenous prison population and divert young people from the criminal justice system. Note: Media are invited to attend the launch of the Social Justice and Native Title Report 2014 at 9.30am on Friday 5 December at the Australian Human Rights Commission, Level 3, 175 Pitt Street, Sydney.
