Show Notes
Queenslands appointment of Darren Robinson, a former police officer involved in the Palm Island riots, to the Legal Aid board has sparked controversy. First Nations leaders and legal groups argue his past actions, including harassment of children, should disqualify him from a position funding legal aid for Indigenous people. The attorney general defends the choice, citing Robinsons experience with remote communities, but critics call for more Aboriginal representation on such boards. This appointment highlights ongoing tensions and access to justice concerns in Queensland.
