‘National shame’: Coroner hands down 35 recommendations to improve NT’s Domestic Violence response

by | Nov 25, 2024 | News, Subscriber | 2 comments

Coroner Elisabeth Armitage has handed down 35 recommendations for the NT Government and police to improve their response to the growing epidemic of domestic violence, calling on the government to properly fund services that will prevent the deaths of women and children.

The recommendations follow a more than year-long inquest into the domestic violence deaths of four Indigenous women, Ngeygo Ragurrk, Kumarn Rubuntja, Kumanjayi Haywood and Miss Yunupingu, which examined, amongst other things, their repeated calls for help to authorities or loved ones in the weeks, months and years leading up to their deaths and the failures of the government to properly respond to the issue.

  1. More money for the bleeding hearts and hangers on, it is real Aboriginal culture not the sanitised post 1976 version.

  2. Elisabeth Armitage is an out and out racist. She refuses to talk about how violence against women is completely accepted in Aboriginal communities. We even heard evidence how the murderers were defended by their community.

    This report is completely worthless by an outrageous racist (namely Elisabeth Armitage) who refuses to acknowledge the reality of the situation due to her own failures to accept reality.
