The family and supporters of Gomeroi man, Mark Mason Snr., gathered at NSW Parliament today to mark the 11th anniversary of his death at the hands of police in 2010, when he was cornered, tasered and shot in Collerenebri in north-western NSW.
Mr Mason’s daughter, Darlene, and other family members and supporters spoke out against Aboriginal deaths in custody and demanded justice.
Two more Aboriginal men were killed in custody just this week, as the death toll rapidly nears 500 since the Report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody was handed down in 1991.
The protestors at today’s rally marched down Macquarie Street to nearby Hyde Park.
