Rates of hospitalisation for neglect and abandonment among indigenous children have been put at thirty to eighty times higher than for the non-indigenous population.[1]

[1] http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/current per cent20series/rpp/100-120/rpp105.html, p55

More than 12,000 Aboriginal children have been removed and are in care, making up a third of all Australian children in care.[2]

[2] http://www.aifs.gov.au/cfca/pubs/factsheets/a142117/index.html

One in nineteen Aboriginal children is in care, ten times the non-indigenous rate.[3]

[3] ibid

In Queensland, one in every 2.2 Aboriginal children is known to Child Safety, and this is expected to increase to every second child being known to Child Safety this fiscal year. In 2007–08, only one in 4.6 Aboriginal children was known to Child Safety.[4]

[4] http://www.childprotectioninquiry.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/175393/Chapter-3.pdf p37

Yet under-reporting of the sexual abuse of Aboriginal children may be nearly 90 per cent.[5]

[5] Op cit see 2

Kevin Rudd began the current Labor era with his apology to the Stolen Generations at the opening of the forty-second Parliament on February 13, 2008. The apology was made and received with the best of intentions.[6]

[6] But if, as Rudd claimed, there had been “tens of thousands” or “up to 50,000” stolen children, it is odd that the judiciary in court has verified only one stolen child, Bruce Trevorrow, who was taken in 1958 as an ill baby by a well-meaning but misguided white couple. That taking was in defiance of, rather than conformity with, policies of the SA State government against removal of Aboriginal children from their parents. Trevorrow in August 2007 won $535,000 damages plus $250,000 interest.

In May 1999, Queensland Labor Premier Peter Beattie had initiated an apology from the state parliament “for the past policies under which indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families”, which “[expressed] deep sorrow and regret at the hurt and distress that this caused”. This was also heartfelt, but odd. From 1908 to 1971, the state government’s own figures show that a total of only 249 Aboriginal children were removed from their families and sent to reserves, missions and institutions. That’s four per year on average, and the reasons included parents’ death, neglect, the need for better education, and the need to accompany their parents.[7] To put that number in perspective, Queensland now has about 3000 Aboriginal children in care after forced removal from their families.

Never mind reality - ignore the facts

Just scream racist

That ploy just does not stand up

They were bringing in Aborigines who were living in their tradition way and had never seen White people all through the 70s and into the 80s - they were all Cannibals

Your stupid shrieking of "wacism" is very selective, as to be expected from a moronic, ignorant pwogwessive airhead.

There is no special effort to eradicate, problematise, decolonise, or otherwise act in an 'anti-racist' manner against the legacy of Marx and his circle.

And this is strange because as anybody who has read the work of Marx – especially his private letters to Engels – will know, Marx's reputation by the lights of our own age ought to be toast by now.

In one letter written in 1862, Marx turns his wrath on one of their fellow radicals, Ferdinand Lassalle, for not only being Jewish but for also having negroid features and hair. ('It is now quite plain to me he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses' flight from Egypt.') He uses the N-word more than once.
..
This is not the only occasion that such a sentiment came from Marx's pen. In another letter, he reflects on the 'degenerative' nature of the 'common negro' and the 'leprous' nature of the Jewish people.

Moreover, he didn't just keep his racism to his private correspondence. In an article in a New York newspaper, he wrote that 'we find every tyrant backed by a Jew' and claimed that there exists always 'a handful of Jews to ransack pockets'.

And these proto-Hitlerian views are consistent throughout his life. In 1843, Marx writes: 'What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.'

In public and in private, Marx comes over as anti-black, antisemitic, anti-Indian, pro-colonialist and racist.
...
Marx was far worse than any of the people whom Leftist campaigners have spent recent years lambasting.

...
What becomes clear in analysing the differences between the treatment of Marx and the treatment of almost every other thinker of the West is that Marx is protected because his writings and reputation are useful for anyone wishing to pull down the West.

Here's the thing you and cancel culture have in common, Frank ... you both demand purity.

It doesn't exist.

Listen: (and if you get that reference, you'll appreciate it) My favourite author is Kurt Vonnegut yet he writes women appallingly. Terrible, one-dimensional, tone-deaf caricatures.

How do i reconcile this with my feminist self? I simply accept that he was a product of his time.

I forgive him. I accept the genius of his work despite his obvious flaws. Much like i will defend '90s Roseanne to the death.

Yes, yes, yes ... Ghandi and Marx and Mandella and King Jr, and Biko and ALL OF THEM were flawed ... but they were visionaries of bonds to unite. And they will live on through history as visionaries of bonds to unite.

And sad, hopeless, soulless creatures such as you will uselessly keep trying to tear them down.

So much worse than even the toxic cancel culture you rail against. At least that has humanity on it's side ... however misguided it is.

By that reckoning you, and all your bien pensant, PC attitudes and convictions are also flawed and merely a product of your time and parochial circumstances. But nothing dates like the latest fashion in Progressiveville.

You are the type who always wants to be thinking the most up to date political and social thoughts according to the most up to date fashion in such parochial mental holes. So now, to your 'feminist' mind womanhood is surely problematised by men who demand to be referred to as women. But you are safe to have second year fem lit crit views of Vonnegut. The only remarkable thing about your favourite writer is resentment (your defining state of mind) that you don't like his portrayal of women. (I wonder what you would make of Henry Miller, Nabokov or Evelyn Waugh.)

Progressives have no thought for conserving ANY social conventions, norms, traditions because you treat these categories as the very things to be overcome. But being poorly educated, unreflecting and fearing accidental 'wrongthought', you do not realise that you are setting up new, fashionable conventions and norms of the 'progressive' kind which date fast and invariably cause your perpetual confusions and paradoxical self-contradictions.

Brian is claiming that there is no evidence of cannibalism among the indigenous Australian community since the 1970s. But, why would there be? The Australian government have been playing "softly, softly" with the indigenous people since the 1960s. There would be no way press releases would be made showing that indigenous Australians have engaged in cannibalism since then.

Don't forget suffers from Owmophobia*....

You see... according to the narrative, Abos are generationally disadvantaged... well - they wouldn't have any concept of disadvantagement unless they could see that for some reason Whartey is doing better, since in 1788 they were in an even worse situation. That generational disadvantage is, somehow according to the narrative, the fault of White society, and has nothing to do with any demand to 'do things their way' as that shallow bint from Melbadishu demanded before shutting up, or to continue their 'traditional' lifestyle of wandering around and picking up a bit to eat etc while retaining the old social structures - the bigger ape always wins the fight and imposes his will on others.......

Extremely primitive and nothing noble about it...... anyway - how can Whartey be doing better = Abo disadvantage - unless the Abos wanted to live the White Man's way but retain their old and worn-out approach to life? Can't straddle a barbed wire fence... they either continue to live 'their way' or they accept that to earn the White Man's goods they have to do something for it.... take personal responsibility especially for correcting those things that are holding them back - substance abuse, wife-killing, children neglecting and abusing, the demand to live 'their way' in remote communities where there are no facilities or ways to earn the White Man's Road, the reversion to violence to resolve any disputes or issues or even anything they don't like.... don't you dare tell them they are keeping themselves down by their violent and irresponsible behaviour or they'll bash the sh1t out of you.... don't you dare challenge their established way of doing things by living or being something different or they'll bash you into line. (Running supplies for fire burnout victims WAS hazardous, since those on the receiving end were upset that they'd been burned out (by Whartey's government, of course) so a Wharte Fulla arriving with food and drink and blankets was a fair target for their wrath - they should just take the supplies and maybe the car as a right - that's why the dopey PC sheila they put in charge of 'fire relief' up Nambucca way wouldn't go out of the office - should've had a coupla big Koons as deputies .. fire relief money was good for a party - with $10k I would have had a shed up on a slab insulated with water and stuff ready for Winter - bit of work - instead there were still hundreds without shelter with Winter coming on.... ya gotta make the effort) ...

I give up on them to be honest...... my Indigo rellies all act like us - part of the family and do the right things.... I never once noticed the difference until some jerks here started all this bullsh1t about how badly the Abos were done by.... never noticed that some of the kids at school were dark etc.... just part of the scenery....

Oh dearie, dearie, me. It appears that Rocky, like Matty finds evidence in their imaginations which does not exist regarding Cannibalism amongst Indigenous Australians since the 1970s. Funny how it doesn't exist anywhere else. You're barking up the wrong trees, boys. There is no evidence because there isn't any. Face facts and reality.

How do i reconcile this with my feminist self? I simply accept that he was a product of his time.

I forgive him. I accept the genius of his work despite his obvious flaws. Much like i will defend '90s Roseanne to the death.

Yes, yes, yes ... Ghandi and Marx and Mandella and King Jr, and Biko and ALL OF THEM were flawed ... but they were visionaries of bonds to unite. And they will live on through history as visionaries of bonds to unite.

And sad, hopeless, soulless creatures such as you will uselessly keep trying to tear them down.

So much worse than even the toxic cancel culture you rail against. At least that has humanity on it's side ... however misguided it is.

Which one? Is it the people's popular cultural front or the culture of popular people's front? Or some other mutation? Which sect are you a partisan of?
For a proggy you are a devoted little consumer of the culture industry, filling your head and heart with ever newer little ditties from ever more tattooed little screamers and balladeers, new seasons 'edgy' art and performance, new theories from social 'science's hacks looking to stand out, etc, etc.

Brian is claiming that there is no evidence of cannibalism among the indigenous Australian community since the 1970s. But, why would there be? The Australian government have been playing "softly, softly" with the indigenous people since the 1960s. There would be no way press releases would be made showing that indigenous Australians have engaged in cannibalism since then.

Oh dearie, dearie, me. It appears that Rocky, like Matty finds evidence in their imaginations which does not exist regarding Cannibalism amongst Indigenous Australians since the 1970s. Funny how it doesn't exist anywhere else. You're barking up the wrong trees, boys. There is no evidence because there isn't any. Face facts and reality. I know it is hard for you but until you produce some evidence you suffer under delusions. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Yes there is

Only if the witness can be taken seriously.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
