An Indigenous advocate has asked how many more "talkfests" are needed before the ACT government addresses the over-representation of Indigenous people in Canberra's criminal justice system.

On Friday, Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury said the ACT continued to see "unacceptable levels of over-representation of First Nations people in our justice system" and that an independent review had been commissioned.
