A Walpiri leader from Central Australia says while he supports the appointment of NT police commissioner Martin Dole, his community still wonders whether they can trust him.
It follows the announcement of Dole’s appointment yesterday, where the Chief Minister denied structural racism exists in the force, despite the findings of a coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, which found there were indications of systemic racism.
And a warning – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this story contains the name and image of an Indigenous person who has died. This report was filed by Sam Parry for ABC News Northern Territory.
