Summary DOG PATROLA controversial private dog patrol which critics contend unfairly targets Aboriginal communities is extending its reach across South Australia. The K9 patrol had its beginnings in Ceduna in 2008 and has been embraced by councils as an effective way of controlling public drunkeness and violence. But some say questions remain about racism and accountability. South Australia correspondent Karen Ashford reports on the rollout of these controversial dog patrols. SISTER ACTIt was in 1960 that the late Sister Alison Bush delivered her first baby at Marrickville Hospital in Sydney. This was just one of the many firsts from Sister Alison. The first Aboriginal midwife to be based at a metropolitan hospital, she was also the first be made an honorary fellow at the College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Cadet journalist Adriana Gajin reflects on the life and passing of a nurse known for her kindess, intuition and respect. ON THE CIRCUITIndigenous people make up more than half the Northern Territory's prison population and the numbers of Indigenous people appearing before the courts are increasing. With such an overloaded system, there are fears many in remote communities are not receiving adequate legal representation. Aboriginal legal aid workers say they're facing overwhelming caseloads on minimal funding
