But no child should be subjected to any type of abuse, hope we have good measures to stop it immediately now, even prevent it happening in a first place.

Ah, OK then. I should have said "You obviously didn't grow up watching Australian sitcoms". It was a pretty weak show, comedicly, but it had its charisma. Betty's convoluted stories, her malapropisms and mispronounced words (remember "archertect") stayed with us over the years. A couple of times I have met someone in real life like her and I'm reminded of Betty.

Okay, I aknowledge that it may not have been about actual Aboriginal issues, but there were Aboriginal implications.

Anyway, I think Ernie Dingo did a walk on once.

Sorry mate, you're way off. Hey Dad was the most inoffensive show on air and did not touch on any controversial issues. It was a sitcom about a family and their daily lives. No pedagogic pretensions, no risqué subjects, no great social issues, just very light humour.

I think the indigenous aspect of the show that you may have been thinking of was to do with the little Eskimo kid in the show.
