The Aboriginal Disgrace
The productivity commission’s report into aborigines is damning – but the reality of life for the children it talks about is unspeakable.
Its key finding is that substantiated child abuse cases in the indigenous community more than doubled from 16 per 1000 children in 1999-2000 to 35 per 1000 children in 2007-08.
The Rudd Government and the states are pumping an additional $4.6 billion into indigenous communities over the next six years as part of the “Closing the Gap” program, aimed at addressing what the government calls indigenous disadvantage.
The Prime Minister was asked about the report this morning. He said it was devastating and that governments need to redouble their efforts to improve services. The aborigine minister Jenny Macklin also says that governments need to do more.
They’re right of course. We have a huge crime problem with a clearly identifiable group of suspects. These poor little children must live in constant fear of being attacked – so much so that many of them think it’s normal.
Let’s just pause and think about what’s going on here. These statistics are just reports about individual decisions made by people. Decisions to commit a crime. I don’t for the life of me know why we are so focussed on the official line in the Productivity Commission’s report that “disadvantage limits the opportunities and choices of many Indigenous (sic) people.” View PDF here.
Limits the choices? There is no excuse for anyone committing the sorts of crimes that this report discloses. If we had the rates of child abuse disclosed here in families in the suburbs of Brisbane there would be an outcry. Why do we not have sufficient police and child welfare people to prosecute the offenders and remove the children to safety?
These increases coincide with the change to our policies of removing children from danger if they are aboriginal. It’s clear that many children are in danger. We know who they are and where they are. We know that as we go to sleep with our children here peacefully, thousands of little children in these camps will be in danger tonight.
As well as the sexual crimes committed against them, many of these little tackers have to put up with pretty basic neglect - permanently snotty noses, ear infections leading to deafness, poor nutrition. Mal Brough confirmed to me stories about little children suckling on the teats of dogs because they don’t get enough to eat.
If the parents won’t look after the children, we as a community have to remove them and make sure they’re cared for. If children were being treated like that here in suburban Brisbane they would be removed. Why do we accept a lesser standard for these little children just because they’re black?
The racism has to stop. We’re all the same. Lock up the crooks, take the children away from bad parents and give them a decent start in an integrated Australia.

MIchael Smith, your idiotic commentry shows how little you understand about the complexities of poverty. Why am I bothering to say this to a shock jock? I don't know. What a waste of time.

Reuben,
You do not know me, I actually have the protection of children at the top of my hit list, NOTHING is more important than the protection of our children and I am the first to complain to politicians when I see a problem.
What do you do Reuben, if you are like most Australians you do nothing, you believe someone, somewhere will do something. All children belong to all of us, not just their parents.
Let me give you some facts about pedophiles. Australian pedophiles outnumber American pedophiles in South East Asia. All of my information comes from documentaries on this subject by 4 Corners, 60 Minutes, various news reports on the subject, newspaper stories and the internet news from trusted sources over a period of decades. A famous Australian pedophile died on the weekend, he had appeared on 60 Minutes.
In my comment I was saying, one is as bad as the other and the percentages are about the same.
In an Email to Smithy I wrote about the Prime Minister giving a leather bound copy of the apology to the Pope while Aboriginal children will be waiting in the darkness for their abusers. All the PM appearances are about his vanity and not his responsibility.Read my other 2 comments on this subject and both my comments about SMS for missing children.
Your comment about the Mossad was spot on, more people need to educate themselves about the Middle East and not believe everything they feed us.Albert Monday 13 July, 2009 - 1:35 PM -
Hi Albert,
What published facts are you basing your opinion that "the percentage of sexual abuse of Aboriginal children is no worse than in the white population when you take into account the number of Australian pedophiles operating in South East Asia." If you have no published facts to support this, It must be stopped, regardless of how unpolitically correct it may appear to the misguided bleeding heart brigade as NO child should have to put up with this.

Bill,
You ask if Aborigines have contributed anything to this country.
Here is a simple answer to your question.
Aboriginal people showed their patriotism by fighting overseas for Australia in both world wars.
In world war II it is thought that 3000 Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders served.
They served in Vietnam.
I assume they serve in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Many never returned.My question to you Bill, have you served your country.
