The Western Australia government announced that it would be closing the Swan Valley Nyoongah camp. This decision comes after five suspicious deaths and a number of allegations of abuse against women and children. Premier Geoff Gallop said the risk of keeping the camp open was unacceptable. The opposition is saying Gallop should go further and call for mandatory reporting of abuse cases, as other states in Australia do. Among the dead was 15-year-old Susan Taylor, who was found dead by hanging in 1999.
