'It has been ten years since Lisa Bellear's too early death in 2006 during NAIDOC week, her favourite time of year. Her iconic poem A Suitcase Full of Mould presciently questions if she will life to 46, given this was the average life expectancy for Aboriginal women in Victoria in the 1990s. She died at 45.'
