quotes from the MIMC article:
http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2004/11/83685_comment.php#83691

 "Since then the Island community have been placed in a state of 
emergency and over two hundred police were sent to the Island to clam 
the community after the Coroner released the report on the autopsy of 
the deceased found that the death was an accident. "


"This is now a state of emergency for our Peoples and we are being 
isolated from the rest of Australia. The witnesses are in danger and the 
police have locked up Aboriginal People. They are in fear of their 
lives. Not one Aboriginal leader has visited the Island and the National 
Indigenous Human Rights Congress Australia is allowed to go to the island. "
