What do you hope to achieve from it?

Why are Blacks so 'special'?

I mean, what about the Blue Brunettes, the Olive-skinned Greens, the Yellows, the Red Rangas, the Blonde Whites, the Raven-haired/Pale skinned Greys and the Browns??????

Via the Media, the Blacks (males) seemed to be pretty well looked after.
They get 'Free Sex' by white people in the USA just for 'nothing' except being Black.
They get 'Free Money' by white people in Australia just for being here first, not owning the land - but being a part of the land (and yet confirming an allegiance to other black peoples around the world, which they knew nothing of, rather than to their fellow non-black Australians).

White people are weak as piss.
Nothing more than a head on a stick.

Bwyannnnnnnn, bwyannnnnnnn, bwyannnnnnnn.
I am no racist, it's people like you who brand anyone who disagrees with you a racist.

We have seen numerous Government reports such as the Little Children are Sacred one which was the report of a Board of Inquiry into the Protection of Aboriginal Children from Sexual Abuse. Commissioned by the government of the Northern Territory,  That was handed down in 2008 and it created the cause for the Intervention by the Federal Government.

That report's 66 findings were not addressed at all by the Intervention, which was primarily poll driven in an election which saw the return of the Howard Government to power.

We have had numerous reports and commissions over the decades.  All of them have come to naught.  What makes you, Mike think that your Royal Commission would have any different results?   What exactly would it be investigating.  What would it's terms of reference be?

Indigenous Australians are another political football in Australia.  They are kicked around between the political parties and largely ignored for 90% of the year in the hope they'll go away.  Tsk, tsk, people here are exactly the same.  We have moral outrage, insults, argument and then what?  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.   The football gets kicked around a bit more when the ratings in the polls are low or there is found to be another problem that needs to be fixed.   How bloody typical.  Lets have another Royal Commission.  Lets waste more millions to find out what we already know.   Indigenous Australians are the second-most disadvantaged group in our society, after the Kanaks.   

The most discriminated against demographic in our society is white males between the ages of 18 & 55.

Nah, I call bullshit on that.

It starts way younger than 18 and lasts way longer than 55

Valkie, you're full o' bullshit, piss and wind and nothing else.  You have proved nothing.   You have not had a single Indigenous person contribute to your fake thread where you asked for what Indigenous Australians wanted or needed.   You're just another Racist who likes to make out he's a big man by slamming down the little people, those who have been wronged by people like you, who have stolen their land, their children, their culture and above all else, their livelihood.   You demand but never deliver.   How bloody typical of a Racist to believe he can dictate to people simply 'cause they have a darker skin to his own.   Tsk, tsk.  a complete WAFTM.

Please explain?

We want a Black Royal commission that will only listen to Blacks, only support their side of the story, only rationalise why Blacks should be handed stuff nobody else can get, will ignore the very real and pressing issues of 'black culture', and will simply (gasps) Whitewash the whole area of Indigenous problems... hell - why not just make it a Black Commissioner, and all Black staff, and then present it to the Australian people as a fair and impartial commission?

Been done before - look at that ridiculous Trade Union commission - a laughing stock - look at all the other commissions - equal laughing stocks.

Meanwhile nothing will change for the Indigenous women beaten, or the Indigenous kids who are neglected and abused, or the ones who grow up thinking they have an Entitlement to steal from Whitey etc, and then go into shock when they hit eighteen and end up in the slammer time after time, while all the young Indigenous girls start dropping kids at fifteen from serial fathers, or the conditions in which many live in poverty and despair and ill health remain the same or worse.

Let's just dress it all up pretty and throw a coat of Black paint over it and all will be well, and sell it to the people as a 'fair' result from a duly-appointed 'commission', all money wasted instead of actually addressing the issues. 

.  How would you react if your 11-year-old daughter had a sexually transmitted infection? How would you take the news that your daughter is up to 10 times more likely to be the victim of sexual abuse than others in her class? How would you feel if she was sexually abused and no one bothered to report it?

To most of us these situations are unthinkable and it would be difficult to fathom how we would react to them.

This is the plight of hundreds of Aboriginal children in remote communities throughout Australia and this is only half of the story.

Recently in Parliament, Colin Barnett cited 39 cases of Aboriginal children reporting with an STI in 2013.

For this the Premier was condemned by protesters who, in my view, completely missed the point. Disturbingly, the reality he was trying to present was likely to be far worse.

Statistics about the magnitude of child sexual abuse in remote Aboriginal communities are unreliable, mainly because of deliberate under-reporting. The Australian Institute of Family Studies has estimated that up to 90 per cent of sexual abuse in these communities is under-reported.

Only last week I spoke to my management team in the Kimberley who continue to express concerns that workers in communities are deliberately not reporting STIs because of pressure from the abusers not to “betray” the culture.

Detectives from the Child Abuse Unit, under the most challenging conditions, have also identified gross under-reporting of abuse during their regional and remote investigations.

A police operation in the Pilbara identified that many people did not report child abuse because they believed child sex abuse was part of Aboriginal culture and that teenage pregnancy was a norm. Sex abuse is not part of Aboriginal culture, rather it is a practice built out of intimidation of women and children.

Abusers are equally divided between older men and teenage boys, the latter often beset with substance abuse problems or foetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

There are varying estimates of how many children are subjected to sexual abuse in remote communities, however, there seems to be a consensus that about one in four girls is subject to abuse and one in nine boys.

Pam Greer, a passionate Aboriginal activist in the area of Aboriginal family violence, was quoted as saying in 2007: “Men are having sex with children, young girls, young boys .(.(. It’s a tragic situation because the children lie awake at night, waiting for it to happen to them, just lie there, waiting. They know it’s coming for them, because it’s happened to everybody. And who are they getting abused by? People who are in positions of power .(.(. And what happens? The children get stoned, get drunk, hang themselves, and we all know why.”

This is exactly the situation we found in Oombulgurri, a Kimberley community often only accessible by boat from which the State Government has now withdrawn all services. It was a community where young girls were regularly preyed upon by the men who were the resident powerbrokers.

The facilitation of contraceptive implants in girls as young as 11 or 12 when requested by a parent or guardian resident in these communities or recommended by a health worker is not uncommon. This must surely be a last line of defence when it is not possible to adequately protect the children from predators.

Oombulgurri is too remote for the continuous attention that would have been needed to intervene in the cycle of abuse.

I am not suggesting that the closure of that community saved all those girls from abuse, however, there is no doubt that it disrupted the cycle of abuse of power and resulted in the charging and imprisonment of the perpetrators. A necessary first step. Many families moved to Wyndham, where there are services, support and housing.

There is always a dilemma when making a decision of the magnitude of closing a community, but the safety and welfare of our children must be pre-eminent.

The story of Oombulgurri is not unique. According to advice I received last week, the contraceptive implant Implanon is known to be prescribed for younger girls in the region. I was advised the use of the drug was not always in accordance with concerns about sexual activity but might be prescribed for “health reasons”. That statement sounds like just another addition to the confusing rhetoric around this problem and in my mind is nothing more than clever language.

I cannot respond to the safety and protection needs of these children in the way you would expect. It is simply not possible. If we facilitate the existence of communities beset by substance abuse, family violence and child abuse hundreds of kilometres from support or intervention services, then we must accept the loss of yet another generation of Aboriginal children. The Government gets it but many don’t.

In the past few days I have seen images of people trying to save whales at Bunbury and dolphins in the Serpentine River, to get them back to a place where they can survive and thrive. It’s a pity we are not all showing the same resolve for children in our remote communities.

Who's asking for one, Graps?   Angry white fellas?  Hey?  They know all about what Black fellas need, now don' they?  'Cause they tell 'em what they need.  Throw 'em some more grub, a little flour, some beef, a few tins of beans, hey?  If necessary, give 'em some grog to shut 'em up, make 'em happy, hey?

Sorry, Graps, we need to listen to what Indigenous Australians want and act on what they ask for.   We've had the Uluru conference, which was organised by the Indigenous Australians to present what they wanted from the Government.  What was the Government's response?  They ignored it, as per usual.
