anonion: interesting that this problem is seen as being far worse in indigenous communities .. have they surveyed other Australian communities?
anonion: "government asked each state to provide 10 police officers to help take control of indigenous communities" .. only Western Australia refused
anonion: "compulsory health checks" .. "Our women and children are scared about being forcibly examined"
anonion: why is it the victims of the abuse who are to be policed, not the perpetrators?
anonion: Howard to "take control of 60 Aboriginal communities", NT to ban "alcohol and pornography", "increasing police numbers", and "scrapping of the permit system which restricts access to some Indigenous lands"
anonion: woulda thought if the perps include outsiders, as the report claims, that restricting access was one good thing they could do
anonion: <aust govts> OMG The reichstag it burns usss
anonion: longer story with pov of mining companies
anonion: <aust govts> OMG your human rights are being infringed here let me infringe your human rights
anonion: OMFG OMFG OMFG "At the moment I have difficulty seeing it, but it's a question of what's to be done - if it's - and I imagine it is the first step towards housing and the delivery of services - then you can start to see the connection..."
