Written directly from his own painful experience as one of the “stolen generation”, his heartbreaking song Took the Children Away, originally recorded in 1990, gained celebrated status, won various awards – including the international Human Rights Achievement Award – and forced Australia to confront the ugly truth of the government policy, which ran from the 1880s to the 1970s, of forcibly removing Aboriginal babies from their families and cutting them off from their traditions so they would be educated and assimilated into white culture. He was born on January 8 1956 in Mooroopna, Victoria, to the Bunjalung Aborigines Nellie Austin and Archie Roach Snr, but, like many others, was taken by government … [Read more...] about Archie Roach, Aboriginal singer who shamed Australia with his song Took the Children Away – obituary

Drug and alcohol addicted prisoners will get special rewards such as gym sessions and TVs if they go cold turkey to kick their habit in jail. Dominic Raab, the Justice Secretary, is to create 100 units within jails where offenders agree to regular drug tests and are rewarded with incentives such as extra gym time, in-cell TVs, additional family visits and cooking facilities if they stay clean.

There are concerns that traditional methadone or other opiate treatments are leaving offenders “indefinitely” reliant on the drug. Mr Raab believes too many prisoners are being put on methadone , a heroin substitute , simply to subdue and prevent them from causing harm to themselves, other inmates or prison officers rather than trying to wean them off drugs and get them clean.
