  "account": "Indigenous women and children in Australia face disproportionately high rates of family violence, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women being killed at a rate up to six times higher than non-Indigenous women, often by intimate partners or family members. Despite numerous inquiries, reviews, and recommendations over the years, the problem persists. Instead of acting on what Indigenous women, communities, and organizations have consistently recommended, governments continue to rely on consultants and include them in existing systems. This lack of self-determination is a key issue, as it prevents Indigenous people from having genuine authority over responses to violence affecting their communities.",
  "summary": "In inquiries and reviews, governments endlessly ask Indigenous communities what should be done, but rarely act on it. It’s time that changed.",
