2020-08-04 02:13:52 +0000 UTCIt is a warning for Indigenous Australians to do with cultural practices around mourning. Practices vary between communities (traditions eroded by colonisation and dispossession), so while some communities might not say the name or show a picture of the deceased, others might - such as in this episode, where Casefile mentioned they got the permission of Cindy and Mona Lisa's families.

2020-08-04 02:13:07 +0000 UTCCurious, the disclaimer at the beginning about the episode featuring stories about people who died -- is that for a cultural or religious reason? I am from the states and am not familiar with the traditions of Australia's indigenous people.
