This should be mandatory reading for every Australian. It made me cry, it made me furious, but I learned so much (mainly learned how much I still don't know). It's refreshing to read an Australian book that is explicitly critical of our police force. Not just scapegoating one or two bad apples but pointing out the inherent flaws of the institution. It's a wake-up call we all need.

My entire heart and soul goes out to the family of Cameron Doomadgee and everyone who has been the victim of the brutality of "civilisation".
