WA government announces coronial inquest into death of Margaret Hawke's children

In short

The WA government has announced a coronial inquest into the deaths of three children killed by their mother in 2022.

A request for an inquest by their grandmother Dorothy Papertalk was denied last year.

What's next?

Ms Papertalk is hoping it will provide long awaited answers and lead to wider change in South Hedland, which has been gripped by reports of child poverty.
