A five-year-old boy was allegedly gang-raped on a beach by other children from a remote Indigenous community on Cape York this month.

Queensland police revealed that four boys — all younger than 13 — were being “dealt with under provisions of the Youth Justice Act” over the alleged rape.

The brutal attack is alleged to have taken place on the beach at Napranum, on the northwest coast of Cape York, on July 1.

Sources said the four alleged offend­ers were removed from the 800-strong community after the allegations emerged, amid fears over threatened retribution.

The charges will renew debate over the level of sexual activity and abuse of children within remote­ Indigenous communities across Australia, an issue that sparked the Howard government’s controversial intervention in the Northern Territory in 2007.

A study, headed by then Griffith­ University professor ­Stephen Smallbone, into sexual abuse in several Indigenous communities in north Queensland was so shocking it was kept secret for more than three years.

The Smallbone report, released in 2016, found that sexual offences in Aurukun — just south of Napranu­m and with many familia­l and traditional links — were reported at a rate 6.6 times higher than the norm in the state between 2001 and 2012.

The mean age of victims was 14.

The study also reported that the incidence of sexually transmitted disease — mainly syphilis — was a staggering 56 times the state average, including the infection of 29 children younger than 10.

Several sources said the details of this month’s alleged rape of the young boy were extremely distressin­g.

The boy was flown to Cairns for medical treatment after the allege­d attack.

It also emerged that the alleged offenders might not face court and could be dealt with by a youth-­justice diversionary program.

The charges revive memories of the 2006 gang rape of a 10-year-old girl in Aurukun, and the ensuing outrage over the failure of sentencing judge Sarah Bradley to jail any of the nine assailants — aged between 13 and 25.

Relatively responsible tribal members or possibly parents... we are all aware that these communities are divided over this kind of reprehensible behaviour by some, and the decent People oppose it.

Maybe they'd spear the little pri cks....

The facts and figures still speak for themselves - all those decent People need to get together on this and stamp it out.

The abbos want to rule themselves.

They say we are taking their rights away.

Now they say it's because we don't intervene that this is happening,.

It seems to me it's a bet each way.

Stop them committing crime.......is racism.

Don't stop them......It's racism

Take the kids out of the danger area......It's stolen children

Leave the kids there .....It's racial abuse.


Here is a solution.
Make them get off their lazy arses and do something  for themselves for a change.

Stop them being parasites and treat them as if they were normal people, not a protected species.

Nope.  I am yawning at your incessant Racism, Soren.  It is just so boring and predictable.  How about you tell us how your going to protest against three children, hey?  Tsk, tsk.

Send in the Army etc to control outrages and abuse?  Offer immediate medical treatment for any and all illnesses, including STIs? Organise a real system for dealing with abusers?

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Don't Intervene and you are neglecting remote communities and allowing violence and abuse of all kinds to run amok and treating the Indigenous as second class with no rights to fair and equitable treatment, medical and legal and all kinds ...

Intervene and you are a Fascist dominating our beautiful, peaceful and caring Brothers and Sistuhs who just 'want to do things their own way' without Captain Cook intervening so they can get on with their syphilis laden lifestyle abusing kids, dying early from substance abuse and reaping a massively higher rate of violence of all kinds along with early death.

Which will it be, Brian?

Let us hear it now...... just once... for real....

I propose a new emoji for bwyannnmnnn.

A coronavirus yawning emoji

It represents him perfectly.

It represents his dogged attempts to shut down any discussion he deems other that what he believes.
