No, they're not. You're just making stuff up now. So, what IS the rate, then, sage of Gippsland. If you know that one in 20 minutes is wrong you must know what the true rate is. Tell us. Go on. Like a lot of stuff Boris posts, he invariably misrepresents actual facts in order to serve his own racist prejudices. This statistic doesn't refer to rape per se. Territory Families NT received 22,300 reports of Aboriginal child abuse in 2018, but substantiated 'only' 23 cases of sex-related harm.— Amos Aikman, The Australian, 6 March 2018. There it is, Geoff.... one small issue... a single component in the overall pantheon of abuse and neglect... Read this and weep:- https://treasury.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/1010752/Social-Indicators... There were 4712 children who were the subject of child protection investigations. Of these investigations, 24.4% (1150) were substantiated, 57.1% (2692) were not substantiated and the remaining 18.5% (870) were either still in progress or closed with no outcome possible. Of the 1150 child protection substantiations, 85.7% were Aboriginal children, compared with 29.3% nationally (Table 1). Further of the total substantiations, 53.0% were female and 47.0% were male. Nationally, 50.0% were female, 4.3% were male and 1.7% did not state gender. The most common type of substantiated abuse was emotional abuse at 46.3%, followed by neglect at 26.9% and physical abuse at 21.7%. This is consistent with national data where the most common type of substantiated abuse was emotional abuse at 53.9%, followed by neglect at 22.5% and physical abuse at 14.1%. (Table 2)
