Thanks runner..

I'll watch this subject in future. I have some uninformed biases ATM. I think intervention is fraught with many issues.

…One of which is how Aboriginal communities are used as a trial for interventionist policies to be broadened to the general population. It is cynical and abusive towards Aboriginal communities in itself, used in this way.

The problem is how to balance intervention for true benefit, against cynical Government cost saving.

Whatever the church did in the past did little to protect the innocents. Why do they hark back to the past?
Isn't it time for some forward thinking about how priests treat the very people who are known as their flock?
Shame and shame again for upholding a practice which enabled criminals to get away with their crimes and to be excused for their sins by their peers.
