    I don’t believe it was in response to any specific event. That speech was made in September 2021, and it was voted down by Labor and LNP in August 2022. The bill was brought in an attempt to bring us into line with UN recommendations, with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and with the advice of many professionals in fields like healthcare and child welfare. Basically everyone other than police and politicians knows it’s a good idea.
