Summary Note In November 2004, Mulrunji Doomadgee's tragic death triggered civil unrest within the Indigenous community of Palm Island. This led to the first prosecution of a Queensland police officer in relation to a death in custody. In Palm Island, Joanne Watson gives the first substantial history of the island from pre-contact to the present.
