A spokesperson for the longstanding protest group, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, wrote on Facebook that the authorities have not tried to help with the escalation of violence among the youth in Kalgoorlie.

"The response has been nothing but sitting back and letting crimes escalate with ongoing encouragement for punishment to be dished out not according to judicial law procedures but at people’s own discretion.

"The target for punishment is black kids. The blame for crimes is black kids. The problems in society are blamed on black kids.”

Local authorities have issued a statement saying the trial has been postponed and an inquiry into the disturbance will be held. Acting police commander Darryl Gaunt told the ABC: "There is nothing to suggest at all that it's a racist issue. It's the death of a child who happens to be Aboriginal."
