On 3 Feb 2011, during a smoking ceremony at the Qld museum Wayne ‘Coco’ Wharton, a Kooma man from Cunnamulla in Western Queensland, extracted a promise from then Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Campbell-Newman, that Murri warriors, Dundalee and Watego, would be honoured. Discussions took place about the best way to do that. Campbell Newman who attended the ceremony at the Queensland museum never lived up to his promise.

I personally heard Campbell-Newman give that promise with others at smoking ceremony at the remembrance ceremony in 2011 (see photo).
The following year Campbell Newman became premier of Queensland and did nothing to fulfill his promise.
