In 1986, two Indigenous girls, Mona Lisa and Cindy Smith, died in a car accident in Bourke, New South Wales. The driver of the car, Alexander Grant, was charged with culpable driving but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. However, the police investigation was heavily criticized for its poor handling, and the family is still seeking justice. The case highlights systemic racism and inequality faced by Indigenous Australians in the justice system, including the dropping of charges without informing the family and the failure to properly examine the vehicle central to the case. The ongoing coronial inquest aims to provide answers and justice for Mona Lisa and Cindy.
