A watershed NSW police review examining the deaths of dozens of LGBTQI people over some 25 years will be in the spotlight at a special commission of inquiry
The inquiry's second block of hearings for the year will probe several police strike forces formed to investigate suspected hate crimes between 1970 and 2010.
Of particular focus are the workings of Strike Force Parrabell, a three-year review of 88 deaths of LGBTQI people from 1976 to 2000.
