Edition 12: Community Legal Issues in Redfern was formally launched at Redfern Town Hall in October. RLC staff and associates submitted several articles to the edition.
The journal features nine authors considering a broad range of injustices affecting the Redfern community and threats to the area's rich history as a cultural, social and political hub for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The edition explores issues including family law and policing to gentrification and historical continuities. The articles are presented in an array of different styles (editorials, academic articles and personal reflections), accompanied by the phenomenal artwork of local artist, Thea Perkins.
