ELEANOR HALL: Indigenous leaders in Central Australia have backed calls for an increased police presence in remote Aboriginal communities, saying it's the only way women and children can be protected from horrific sexual abuse and violence.

An Alice Springs Crown Prosecutor, Nanette Rogers, last night revealed shocking details of a series of sexual assaults in Central Australian Aboriginal communities, some involving children as young as seven months old.

The Northern Territory Chief Minister, Clare Martin, has described the cases as appalling, although she insists the Territory Government is doing all it can to solve the problems.

But as Lindy Kerin reports, Indigenous leaders are pleading for more to be done.

LINDY KERIN: Nanette Rogers has been a crown prosecutor in Alice Springs for more than a decade.

On Lateline last night she revealed some horrific details of sexual violence against children, including the case of an 18-year-old petrol sniffer who raped and drowned a young child, and the sexual assault of a seven-month-old baby.

NANETTE ROGERS: When the mother returned from town, where she'd been drinking, the child was crying, and the other children indicated that the offender had taken her away some time before, and it was then that the bleeding and so on was noticed in her nappy.

LINDY KERIN: Nanette Rogers says violence is entrenched in Central Australian Aboriginal communities, and many victims aren't coming forward because of fear of retribution.

Nanette Rogers says she's spoken out because the level of violence is simply unacceptable.

The rape and murder of children - happening right now every day

The Cannibalism - was widely known about and discussed in Australia in the 70s the same as PNG - the same doctors were going back and forth because both were territories of Australia.

but history is being rewritten

Stone tools made cannibalism easier... just knock the kid on the head..... cook 'im up ...Outback Barbecue....

I'm astounded that anyone would deem a simple tool making site to be a 'Silk Road' implying trade and established markets - talk about enhancing descriptions and job titles....

Interesting that there seem to be pictures laid out in stones.... signaling to the space ships again....

Aboriginal cannibalism had many different aspects, but the practice existed because of one all-important fact. The Aborigines were pre-literate nomadic hunter-gatherers, who did not grow crops or domesticate livestock for food, and thus were often starving, and were certainly lacking in protein sources. As a result, they turned to eating human flesh, often making a virtue of necessity by endowing the practice with religious significance. Sometimes their cannibalism consisted of deliberately killing and eating small children, women, or the elderly, sometimes of eating enemy warriors slain in battle in the frequent inter-tribal wars and conflicts (which are also almost entirely missing from recent accounts of Aboriginal society). Another means of accomplishing the all-important goal of limiting a tribe’s population to a level which could realistically be supported by the available resources was infanticide, which was widely practised and which has also been excluded from contemporary depictions of Aboriginal life.

A swagman, Phil Moubray, relates that he found in the basin of the River Mitchell the Aborigines roasting and eating their own children:

When a child looks well, is “well-fed,” or “fat,” it may happen that one of the men, or even the whole community, murders it for cannibalistic purposes in the absence of its mother … We do not think that such cannibalism was common, though there are many references to it … It was only in periods of drought and famine that child-eating assumed large proportions … In hard summers the new-born children seem to be all eaten in the Kaura tribe. [Explorer Alfred William] Howitt inferred this from the remarkable gaps that appeared in the ages of the children … [I]n the Birria tribe during the years 1876-77, in the drought, not only were all the infants devoured, but even the younger grown children. However, in some tribes this practice appeared, even in a normal period, not to be so very rare. At least, if the gossip that circulated among the tribes were to be believed, cannibalism was even more extensive than we suppose. For instance, one tribe relates of another that it marks at birth those infants which are to be eaten later on; again the children of some women were always killed and eaten as soon as they got fat enough. According to [doctor and squatter Richard] Machattie, a tribe numbering 250 when the Europeans came, during the next six years ate seven children, i.e., about 3% of the whole population.

No evidence, no links to prove your case for cannibalism in the 1970s, Matty.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   ::) ::)

Was the swagman jolly?

Recent evidence show Abos fart.

Brian: They had commercial methane and hydrogen production.

More Bwyanesque BS.  ;D

The only thing world scale here is Bwyan being a dickhead.

It is Left Wing Rewriting History straight out of 1984.

It is total BS because these people are Stone Age and violent sex crazed Cannibals who never planted a crop or built a building or invented the wheel.

Now they are being reinvented as Disneyland perfection Noble Savages who lived in Utopia.

They still rape and murder women and children and as far as I know have only just stopped eating babies.

Evidence is required, not supposition, Matty.  Where is your evidence about Cannibalism occurring in the 1970s? You don't have any do you, just some scandalous youtube videos about drunk Indigenous Australians like a  Racist does...  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   ::) ::)

World scale trading.

What the ABC has done here is like when a retarded kid counts to potato and the teacher gives them an achievement award.

If they get away with these few holes in the ground being a huge quarry there will be ancient quarries cropping up everywhere, interesting they also claim to be trading in seeds from the same site, seeings as though they had no agriculture i doubt that happened.

This is probably an April fools joke gotten out of hand.

Digging that quarry out with a stick must have been hard work and everyone knows Abbos don't work.

I am calling bullshit on this one.

From what I gathered on that ABC article, the aborigines had the equivalent of "training wheels on a tricycle" type development of their trading system. What are they trading, anyway? Kangaroo meat? Dance techniques? How to play frogger with crocodiles to cross complex river systems?

The didn't have anything to boil water in or a wheel but they could trade in seeds and rocks and excavate massive quarries with a stick.
