The NT police racism findings

Northern Territory Coroner Elisabeth Armitage has handed down the long-awaited findings in the inquest into the killing of 19-year-old Warlpiri-Luritja man Kumanjayi Walker, by then-police officer Zachary Rolfe. Armitage found that Rolfe was a racist, embedded in a racist culture at NT Police, and that Walker’s death was “avoidable”. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain Armitage’s findings about Rolfe and Walker’s lives, and her recommendations to the territory government and police.
