On the back of reports released on the well-being of Aboriginal youth, with figures tabled showing more than half of Aboriginal youth are developmentally vulnerable Western Australia's Commissioner for Children and Young People Michelle Scott has called upon the state for investment in programs.

Commissioner Scott released brief reports on "Indigenous education, risky behaviour and physical health" and said that the children were most vulnerable from their first year of school.

Goolarabooloo man Richard Hunter, a Traditional Owner of James Price Point, has launched a civil suit in the Supreme Court against Woodside Petroleum.

The Western Australian Environment Defenders Office (WAEDO) has launched the case on behalf of Mr Hunter. WAEDO on Monday May 28 wrote to Woodside and the shire of Broome to stop all works at the James Price Point site. WAEDO has given Woodside 48 hours to cease the works otherwise it will seek a court injunction.

Bob Carr said that it is abominable that children are in adult prisons - therefore release them all, now. Now that the Governor of Kerobokan has supported the right to early parole for Schapelle Corby, Australia needs to keep its side and en masse release all the children - now.

The conversations between DFAT and their counterparts, between Australian and Indonesian foreign ministries have occurred in that the goodwill of a sentence reduction, early parole for Schapelle Corby was brought up alongside the urgent need for Indonesian children in Australian adult prisons to be released.
