Over half of all missing children are Aborigine children and many are never seen again.
And all Brian can do is behave like a total buffoon.
I have seen them raped and I have seen them murdered. I believe many are eaten.
History would back up that belief.
Says the man who refuses to produce any evidence, hey, "Boris"? A man who boasts continually about his supposed intelligence and his knowing note anthropologists and his claims of a massive conspiracy which hides the evidence. Bugger off, "Boris", you're a WOFTAM. Run along and Troll somewhere else. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Extreme rates of violence
Despite the flawed data, those that were captured show the extreme and disproportionate rate of violence against First Nations women.
National Homicide Monitoring Program data on murdered First Nations women and children from 1989–1990 to 2022–2023 show 476 women were recorded as victims of homicide (murder and manslaughter). 158 children were recorded as victims of homicide (murder, manslaughter and infanticide).
First Nations women represented 16 per cent of all Australian women homicide victims, despite comprising between 2–3 per cent of the adult female population.
First Nations children represented 13 per cent of all child homicide victims.
Counting missing First Nations women and children was equally problematic, somewhat owing to some jurisdictions not recording Indigenous status in their figures.
Despite the flawed data, the Senate inquiry heard 20% of missing women in Australia are Aboriginal women. The report found First Nations children and youth are over-represented in the out-of-home care system (approximately one in 18) and are “markedly overrepresented in reports of missing children. These children make up 53% of missing children reports.”
Not only are First Nations women and children more likely to go missing, they are less likely to be found.
The inquiry also heard the problematic nature of the language of “missing” as being passive, and somehow suggestive that people go deliberately missing. We agree with Amy McQuire’s argument that these First Nations women and children are not missing – but disappeared.
