"The families have been let down by the justice system. It's very nice for society to say that all victims are treated equally. Unfortunately in this situation I do not think this is entirely correct. I am a homicide detective. I'm not a do-gooder, or bleeding heart. however, race and to a lesser degree socio-economic factors have impacted on the manner in which these matters have been investigated...the families know the reason...They said "It's because we are Aboriginal." Transcript to parliamentary inquiry. Evidence from former Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin.
Colleen Walker Craig, 16. Clinton Speedy-Duroux, 16 and Evelyn Greenup, 4. Three Bowraville children murdered in-between September 1990 and February 1991. Colleen's body has never been found but her clothing was.
Dan Box's book 'bowraville' published in 2019 follows on from the podcast and is a powerful indictment of Mr Jubelin's statement. Read, listen and be informed. See below:

This rally on a hot Sunday in September outside Sydney Town Hall was an opportunity for family to again, put this in the public domain. Injustice, how long? Two hundred plus people came, listened and marched and families asked us to remember. That injustice has a price. Sorry business has eaten through the families involved. Black lives matter. Yet it is a hard thing to believe for these families. Twenty nine years and the blood from this sore still spills red into our red dirt land.
Belgo and Mrs Belgo were humbled being here. I thank the families who organised this, I acknowledge the people who came for the time spent. I also want to pay respect to Gary Jubelin who was present. Australia need people with this level of integrity. Although he would dispute it, he is a hero as are the families and their commitment to finding Colleen and keeping this in our thoughts. What do they want? Justice. What have they got? Fuck all!
