Labor pledges $90m to reduce Indigenous incarceration and deaths in custody

Linda Burney says federal leadership is needed to tackle root causes of crime and recidivism

Labor says it will allocate more than $90m over four years for justice reforms to reduce the incarceration of Aboriginal people and the number of Aboriginal deaths in custody, if it wins government.

On the 30th anniversary of the final report of the royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody, Labor's Indigenous affairs spokesperson, Linda Burney, said federal leadership on justice reinvestment is needed to tackle the root causes of crime and recidivism.
