We have to have a constant reminder'

The committee also called for a culturally appropriate and nationally significant recognition and remembrance of murdered and disappeared First Nations women and children. Dorinda Cox said this would be significant" if the government accepted the recommendation:

It would ... have some permanent features to remind us the role that history has played for missing and murdered or disappeared women and children and First Nations women and children in this country, because there's a story there that needs to be told, and we have to have a constant reminder.

Like we do ... with the Australian war memorial of the safety that we have as a country, but also that this part of our history - this is now ingrained in and sketched into. And if we want to continue to work on this and continue to maintain safety for women and children and the most vulnerable, which is First Nations - as we know, we're in an emergency for all women, but First Nations women and children are at the front of that - we have to have some permanent features, otherwise we become invisible.

What we hear too often is that this is a state and territory problem. States are responsible for their police forces, in particular ... We have to centre our approaches and our outcomes in [addressing these issues] and we have to look at the culture of the organisations, such as police.

There's lots of reporting on the media in relation to the attitudes of police across Australia, and that has to get better, but we have to have a measure against that - we can't just put in the attorney general [to] have a chat to the police ministers, and nothing changes ... Because if we don't look at this in a way of wanting change, nothing ever changes.
