Reading this article, I was struck by the unusual writing style, and googled for the first sentence of the article. I found that most of the article was lifted from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. This is a publication of the Australian government, and I have no idea what its status is with respect to copyright. I suspect it might be in the public domain, but I don't know this. In either case, Outstation movement should either cite its sources, or be rewritten so it's not a direct lift from the commission report. --Skud 00:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Update: Here's the copyright notice from the front of the Royal Commission Report (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/special/rsjproject/rsjlibrary/rciadic/national/vol3/1.html): "This work is copyright.

Have started a REALLY rough stub of a new article at Outstation_movement/Temp. --Skud 01:07, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
