The Queensland Police service is launching new separate inquiries into the disappearances of two Aboriginal women in 2013.
23 year old mother Allison Bernard was last seen leaving a bar in the town of Coen in Queensland’s North before her disappearance in 2013, with no further evidence found.
Similarly, 24 year old Monique Clubb disappeared from Beenleigh train station the same year. Her family will gather for the inquest this week in the hopes to gain closure.
The new inquiries come after Greens Senator and Yamatji Noonga Woman Dorinda Cox moved a parliamentary motion to begin inquiries into cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, and put an end to the families of victims being ignored by police.
