The law needs to be changed so aboriginal parents have the rights to bring their children home for burial if there's no will and not in a relationship at the time regardless of having children or not. We lost our adult son and even though he was single at the time of his passing, his ex-partner partner reported to police that she was he partner of 18yrs which is not true. They had 8 children over 18yrs but never had a family home, no finances together never had their name together on anything over the 18yrs. The 8 children were not even in his name they all had the last name of their mother. He would keep going back to her to try and make a life with her but as she still lives with her mother she never wanted that, just wanted to get pregnant again, stay on a single mothers pension, keep him around for awhile than kick him to the curb again, time after time, year after year. So because she told police she was his partner, the NSW Deputy Coroner appointed her Senior next of kin with not one ounce of proof. We sent so much proof that they were not together but it's lik the Coroner never read anything. Law states she is the next of kin because they have children and parents are 3rd in line. He wasn't buried on country and it's time the NSW Legal system started to recognise Aboriginal cultural practices in regard to death and family protocols.
