The TV news last night carried an extensive report on the tragic death of a Darwin boy who has been in a coma since he was hit by a falling limb in a schoolyard last week.
It didn't mention Mr Limbunya's death at all.
Enough said.
There are people who won't let it rest there.
Nawala's grandson, for one.
Matthew Bonson is a member of the Territory Assembly (our peanut Parliament).
He's written to the Health Minister asking for a full inquiry into what happened to his old uncle and the Health Minister says that's just what they'll do.
Matthew must know in his heart of hearts that they'll miss the point, though.
The real inquiry needs to be into how racism survives in Australia and how we can get rid of it.
