Lower the age of criminal responsibility down to 10 years of again. I don't see why I should have had to be subjected to such bullshit harassment from racist blow-ins, just because of my Caucasian heritage. Let the justice system sort out the spoiled little rebels.

Okay, I will have to play the role of police prosecutor, for the purpose of this topic here. Essentially, if you are 10 years old and you are willing enough to smoke pot or drink booze, you are old enough to face the consequences of your actions. And if you are willing to break into cars, drive them around recklessly, and then run down people on the highway, I doubt that being 12 years old would warrant you any real clemency.

Any justice of the peace would simply say that the child is more than a product of their social environment.  Any magistrate could just determine that the child has to do the rest of their days in prison, without possibility of parole.

mothra,

If you live outside of Qld, please don't comment any further on this. You are obviously too woke and naive to know any better.

I was. That is the reason why I don't subscribe to the pusillanimous ideals of the "woke brigade".

You know that woke doesn't really mean anything the authoritarian right do not like.

The Green M&M isn't really woke - right ?

depends

if they are put in custody and mentored by role models of positive masculinity (say they get to play football against off duty police or they get to learn to box at a pcyc or they are indentured to a noble cattleman and taught stockman skills)  then this is good community outreach and mentoring

if they are left where they are with bad parents, this is a dark stain on our society

if they are tortured by having to deal with hand wringing self important social workers and other welfare grifters, this is an absolute catastrophe

institutional welfare dependancy?

it should have been pulled out by its tap root before it was ever allowed to blossom.
and who benefits from institutional welfare dependancy?
the middle management civil servants and grifters who are, in essence, dependant on ever increasing "herds" of welfare recipients to advance their careers and pay their own mortgage.


the solution will have to come from the people who understand that we were put on this earth to contribute and to create and to eradicate suffering
(not to take, and suck on the titty of an authority figure) and
not to use the suffering of others as an opportunity to virtue signal.

in practical terms , this means that the same sort of people who volunteer for the rural fire brigade or for clean up australia or for the surf life savers or for mens sheds or for pony clubs , need to move into areas of poverty and provide real help.

play sport with kids
teach them to work on cars or fix mowers
teach them to put up fences and grow food
community gardens
teach them emotional control in the boxing ring
take them to the gym, take them fishing
get them interested in little on line marketing ventures
lend them 1000 bucks to start a small business
inspire and encourage by putting your awesome positive attitude on display.


i was talking to a mum of a kid with fairly severe autism and a big NDIS package (about 150,000 pa).

all he could access was speech therapists and occupational therapists ON LINE (as they refused to drive to the country) and they were billing NDIS 300 an hour for doing what exactly over a skype call?

mum said it was total BS

mum is going to bring the kid to the local pony club where he can get some real help, for free, from noble conservatives

the virtue signalling grifters have failed this child and 10's of 1000's like him, because they would never get off their fat asses and actually do something constructive
