For Professor Gracelyn Smallwood, a late-night phone call about another Aboriginal man being shot and killed by police was the final straw.

Aubrey Donahue, 27, died after being shot four times by police, who say he advanced on officers while armed with a knife in Mareeba, west of Cairns, on Saturday.
