	Description:		In late 2017 Tanya Day tried to catch a train from Bendigo to Melbourne. Two weeks later she was dead. Today, we retrace that path; from being kicked off the train and being arrested in Castlemaine, to injuring herself in the watch house, and ultimately the emergency department. Was she treated differently because she was an Aboriginal woman? Her family wants the Victorian Coroner to consider whether systemic racism could be responsible for her death. If she agrees, it'll be the first time that question has been considered from the start of an Australian inquest. We speak to someone who works directly with police to try to fix that problem in the US, and the people who want police in Australia to try the same thing.
