	Despite Promise Wujal Wujal Still Without Police
		Wujal Wujal has no police presence of its own and is reliant on infrequent and delayed visits by police from Cooktown two hours drive away.
		Wujal Wujal Community Council Chair, Desmond Tayley, said the AMP was the only one in the State that banned alcohol completely from within community boundaries and had 100 per cent support from Council.
		Woodley said that Wujal Wujal's AMP should have been a model for other communities fighting grog and violence but instead the Grandmothers in the Community Justice Group were watching all their hard work and commitment count for nothing as drunks, drug dealers and sly-groggers ignored community wishes and the AMP.

	$10m back pay for indigenous workers \| Qld \| The Australian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		THE Beattie Government faces a possible $10 million payout after a court found the historical underpayment of wages to indigenous workers on church-run missions was based on race, and therefore discriminatory.
		Mrs Gordon, who runs a children's health program at Hopevale, said she was living with her parents during her time at the post office and the money she received was just enough to contribute to family meals.
		Wujal Wujal Mayor Desmond Tayler, whose uncle Frank Tayler will be paid back wages, said the court victory was "a shot in the arm for people not fairly paid when the community was still a Lutheran Mission".

	NATIONAL REPORT VOLUME 2 - SELF-INJURY AND SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In the report of the inquiry into the death of the young man at Wujal Wujal in Cape York in Queensland, the examination of the background of the deceased reveals the connection between alcohol misuse and self-destructive behaviour beyond the bounds of ritually endorsed limits.
		There is some evidence (although not conclusive) that his mother later made a statement to the effect that she thought the arresting officer was somehow responsible for her son's death.
		An unresolved issue and popular theory at Wujal Wujal was that somebody had taken the football sock to the cell, hence providing the means and a suggestive gesture of suicide.

		There were also fears the pollution was creeping into the water supply of the nearby Cape York Aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal.
