No, we don't; if we did then Australia would do something about the appalling level of violence against women and girls in Indigenous communities.

Is Mise,
And, there would be many prosecutions of parents for FGM offences.

Since FGM became illegal in Aus there has only been one prosecution and the penalties of the convicted has yet to be imposed.

If governments were serious about FGM they would insist that medicos report instances and make hospital records available to police.

But no, there are 'cultural considerations', so the horrible mutilation of little girls goes on, and on.

Astounded that Suse'DriveBy' and ors believe they would be better off there.

Nothing for Australia to learn there.

Is Mise, I agree with you about Indigenous women and girls.
They are by far the people with the least 'rights' of all in our country.

I can't see any end to it in our lifetime though, as any attempt to address that problem would have to involve the women reporting the behavior of their male relatives, and I can't see that happening any time soon.

Hasbeen proves the fact that men like him have no regard for women's rights by blaming female teachers for what he perceives as this country's education failure.
I say it is the fault of poor government and education spending by the predominantly old white male parliamentarians...

Hey Suse, please explain just how, recognising the incompetence of the modern female dominated education system, & the primary system in particular has anything to do with women's rights.

Oh I get it. You're suggesting it is a woman's right to be incompetent. To be employed in a job where her incompetence harms the education of children, must be another right.

It must be their right to dumb down a whole generation, & expect to do even more with the current lot.

These women's rights obviously must trump the right of the taxpayer to expect competence from it's employees, & the kids right to an adequate education.

Hasbeen, your misogyny is obvious. You take every chance to have a go at females on this forum. You would prefer they were stuck in the kitchen, like back in the 'good ol' days', am I correct?

No one important has ever said it is female teachers fault that the education system is 'dumbed down', just you, who hasn't been involved in any education system for 80 years or so...
