In case there has been some miscommunication, you're saying that ALL Indigenous Australians do these things you claim, not just their bad elements like in any community?
Yes
Well, at least we know who the crazy one is, thanks.
Rates of hospitalisation for neglect and abandonment among indigenous children have been put at
thirty to eighty times higher than for the non-indigenous population.
More than 12,000 Aboriginal children have been removed and are in care, making up a third of all Australian children in care.
One in nineteen Aboriginal children is in care, ten times the non-indigenous rate.
And nowhere in those stats does it mention sexual assault which you are pushing people to believe is the cause.
Those stats aren't great, nobody is defending them, in fact as I've said, it's a great reason to support the voice to assist in helping to improve these stats and these people's lives.
Remember, they ARE people. Can't believe I have to remind you of that...
But you were making the claims about the rampant sexual assault of children, by ALL indigenous people and then shared these stats to prove it.
It doesn't.
You just want it to because it aligns with your beliefs.
Facts over feelings friend.
More twists than a rattlesnake on crystal meth......
Just keep making up stories and jumping to conclusions ... e.g. discussion of the HUGE rate of abuse of children is NOT the same as saying they ALL do it... that's your first lie.
Is it though?

Quote:How many do you actually know? I have statements from three women bashed by the same 'man' - all stories are startlingly similar and they are miles apart from one another... never met ... and one of them said to me that her family were not like that and until this ahole came along she did not know violence.
Get your thinking right, kid/champ/bucko/girlie/schweetheart .... when people offer you links and figures you do not try to get out from under by attacking them by saying they are saying the whole group does it... that's just bullsh
i
t .... and your way of wimping out of (gasps) debate....
Get back to school - a real school for a change...
Other than Boris who is making the claim that these stats are indicative of ALL indigenous people, I'm not excusing or even doubting these reports.
We agree that the situation is terrible and something needs to be done.
The difference is what can be done to help, or the notion of even helping at all.
You seem to want to lock them in a zoo as if they're cavemen for rich people to go and view, or even hunt as you suggested, whereas I would strive to find a way to actually help them.
Address the issues identified in the various reports, even the one you didn't read.
The biggest issue is most of the ways we've tried to help have been from the views of people outside of their communities, trying to force change without working from within. Part of that is greater awareness of their cultures and of these issues which the voice would help with.
But giving them a voice, input, and a say in politics that concerns them, well that's apparently a bridge too far for you.
You seem more comfortable with the notion of locking them up, shooting them, or genocide unless there were all just sarcastic joke comments too?
