Hayley Garlett's courageous stance in Kalgoorlie
The cousin of a teenage boy killed in Boulder opens up about why she stood between police and protesters during a violent riot in Kalgoorlie emerged on Tuesday.
Elijah's death on August 29, sparked tensions in his Goldfields home town with Indigenous supporters carrying signs calling for 'justice' and saying 'the lives of our kids matter'.
A violent riot erupted outside the Kalgoorlie Courthouse when the man was first due to appear in court, leaving officers injured and police cars damaged. Several people were arrested.
The 14-year-old died after the scooter he was riding was involved in a crash with the man's Nissan Navara.
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Supreme Court in February 6, where a trial date will likely be set.
