Of course there is a solution. It is a problem created by Aborigines, for Aborigines.  Aborigines cannot blame whitey for their own neglect and abuse of their own children and each other. That's utter bollocks.

Aborigines despise themselves, that is why they are doing this to themselves, over generations. No self-respecting people would sink so low and then wallow in the face of every kind of assistance and urging not to.  Other people everywhere are lifting themselves out of misery while the Aborigine sinks lower and lower.

If my country was colonised my response would not be to go rapey violent ON MY OWN PEOPLE and get drunk and drug addled and avoid school and moan endlessly about how I coulda been a contender if only.....  How is that a response, FFS???



Aborigines are EITHER full members of the human race with all the agency and self-direction that entails or they are not - in which case what the bloody hell is the point of giving a voice to a people who are incapable of forging their own destiny in the world. The Stone Age Is OVER.  Take it from there.

Yeah, really, dickheaddle. Really.


Justice Brownhill took into account mitigating circumstances in her sentencing.

She said the teenager - an initiated Warumungu person from Tennant Creek - had been exposed to serious domestic violence that had seen him diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder at the age of 10.

His father had spent time in prison for domestic violence offences and he had a long history of contact with the child protection system due to his father’s absence and his mother’s alcohol abuse.

He has been diagnosed with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, severe expressive and receptive language disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder and chronic PTSD.

He had also been diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability and “severe cannabis use disorder”.

He had been smoking cannabis on the day he raped the girl.

The court heard the teenager had struggled to engage at school because of bullying and his PTSD.

But since he had been at Don Dale he had been engaged in school and had received positive feedback from teachers about his behaviour and enthusiasm in the classroom.

He now hopes to finish Year 12 and join the army.

The teenager would ordinarily have been transferred to adult prison when he turned 18 on December 7.

But the court heard the chief executive of the Department of Territory Families would likely give permission for him to complete his sentence at the youth detention centre due to his previous exemplary behaviour at Don Dale.

He will remain on a Territory Families or Community Corrections supervision order upon his release and will be forbidden from contacting his victim or her parents.

So under Aboriginal law he is an adult - initiated into the mysteries -  but for whitey law he's a child. 

Will the girl's clan spear him when they see him?
