Geraldton’s racial tension – “colour should not matter” With racial tensions boiling over in the West Australian coastal town of Geraldton over the hit-and-run death of two 40-year-old Yamatjis, police finally charged the young non-Aboriginal driver eleven days after the tragic incident. The Yamatji community gathered in the hundreds outside Geraldton police station to protest, and the next day the young driver was formally charged. Family and community members said that if the driver had been a Yamatji, he or she “would have been locked up, denied bail and would be facing a jail time.” thestringer.au/geraldtons-racial-tension-colour-should-not-matter/#.Um5sy-S4YdV
