35 years ago this week, the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody report was handed down with 339 recomendations. 

It hoped to address the high rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders dying in police custody, but since 1991, 630 Indigenous people have died in custody. 

Amnesty International Australia's Indigenous Rights Advisor, Rodney Dillon, is asking how many people have to die before its declared a massacre?

Other stories this week include: 
The start of a 820-kilometre walk to Canberra calling for a national truth-telling inquiry.
Traditional owners helping to conserve Australia's newest lizard, the Kungaka after 25 year of research.  
Protecting the endangered Alpine Ash as frequency of severe bushfires increase.   

This week's episode is hosted by Harrison Pedersen
