"NSW TAFE agreed to facilitate a formal Mentoring in the Community training course for ex-prisoner mentors and concerned community members, which focused on mentoring, ethics & values, and personal communication skills. Sessions were held on Monday nights at JA"


"Thomas (TJ) Hickey, an Aboriginal youth aged just 17, died on 15 February after events the day before in Waterloo, near the largely Aboriginal Sydney suburb of Redfern after being chased by Police".
