Today, Friday November 7, the Prescribed Area People’s Alliance held
its second meeting. We have issued the following statement:We are outraged that today Lex Wotton, an Indigenous man from Palm
Island, was sentenced for 6 years for protesting the murder of another
Indigenous man by a white policeman. That policeman has since been
promoted and given $100,000 compensation. Police brutality and
harassment of Indigenous people continues throughout Australia,
including here in Central Australia in our town camps and communities.
