Richard Rolfe, the father of Zachary Rolfe, who fatally shot Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker in Yuendumu, Northern Territory, Australia, has called for greater efforts to combat racism within the Northern Territory police force during a federal inquiry. Zachary Rolfe shot Walker on 9 November 2019 after Walker allegedly attacked him with scissors. Rolfe was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges in March 2022 but was later dismissed from the police for unrelated reasons. Richard Rolfe's submission to the inquiry highlighted systemic racism, citing incidents such as annual awards for racist behavior within the police and instances of inappropriate behavior by officers. Coroner Elisabeth Armitage's findings in July 2025 indicated a troubling culture of racism in the police, stating that while she could not definitively link Zachary Rolfe's attitudes to Walker's death, the possibility could not be ruled out. The inquiry aims to address racism and violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with further hearings planned across Australia.
