With new album Dream Days At The Hotel Existence due for release on Saturday June 2, Brisbane five-piece Powderfinger have come under fire by for the lyrics of "Black Tears". On the track, Bernard Fanning sings, "An island watch-house bed, a black man's lying dead", and former Palm Island police officer Chris Hurley believes it's about him. Hurley is due to face trial in Townsville for the manslaughter and assault of 36-year-old Mulrunji Doomadgee, who he arrested in 2004. Doomadgee's subsequent death in custody sparked a riot. Now Hurley is set to lodge a complaint to Queensland Attorney-General Kerry Shine about the song. "The content and proposed timing of the song's release raises some serious concerns regarding Mr Hurley's trial," Hurley's lawyer, Glenn Cranny, said. Powderfinger are seeking legal advice.
