I don’t think a lot of people understand that Australia is just as bad as America. We are built on the innocent lives of indigenous people and we still have a racist system in place today. #AboriginalLivesMatter

All the people who say Australia doesn’t have racism, say that to the 400 Aboriginal people who have died in custody from 1991, and no one got charged. #AboriginalLivesMatter

I feel ashamed that I had no idea of the 400+ aboriginal deaths in police custody in Australia. I feel so ashamed that I had never heard the names of those murdered by our racist police force. I promise I will never stay silent again. I will stand with you #AboriginalLivesMatter

One death is too many. Aboriginal deaths in custody, Australia. Say their names. (some names aren’t in full due to cultural reasons). #BlackLivesMatter #AboriginalLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/g2J8iAPdHr

400 deaths in custody since 1990. no cops ever charged. endless violence and intimidation from the police. Mob reporting assault only to be arrested for unpaid fines. it’s the same story of white supremacy and zero justice here with us. #AboriginalLivesMatter

2011 Lynette Daley was killed by 2 men. 2ce DPP would not prosecute saying insufficient evidence. 2014 coroner recommended charges DPP refused. 4 Corners report May 2016 was a signifant milestone in investigation #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER #AboriginalLivesMatterhttps://t.co/3CgoJH5jmz

Aboriginal Australians are 2% of the population but 28% of the prison system
400 deaths in custody since 1991 and ZERO charges
No officer has ever been committed from a black person in custody in our history#AboriginalLivesMatter https://t.co/oMRWtKKsux

The disproportionate incarceration of aboriginal australians, and the violent + oppressive systems in place TODAY that reinforce white settler harm onto aboriginal australians is sickening. Aus is not “better” than US, anyone who thinks that is ignorant af #AboriginalLivesMatter
