Wouldn't be a copper for quids.

Thank you Stephen. I look for and learn from your postings. Racism and sexism are very much under the surface appearances of tolerance in Australian society. What you describe is all that gets media attention: the sensational, blatantly disciminatory and always 'other' focused tirade. Jenni

Its a bit hard to tell what the auther is on about it seems to be manely streem of consiosness stuff. But a few bits caught my eye:

(1) About the Indigenous Tiwi Island woman who was killed by her partner. Well this sort of thing will happen incresingly. Police ect are not game to work in these outback communities they get no suport at all from the locals. Its clear goverments are addopting the pollicy of leaving the communities alone to stew in there own juce. (See the refrence to the staff of the new police station). Plus the bloke was only on parole because of the pollicy not to keep indiggenous people in jail.

(2) Sheik Hilali: I cant rely work out what hes done that peple are so worked up about. Dont we have free speech in this contry specialy about relligion. Corse peple shold be aloud to say what they like about his lot too. Or is he asking special treatment because he reccons his relligion is the true one? (See also 4 below)

(3) Pru Goward’s husband, David Barnett: On what basis could Indigenous barrister George Villaflor take Barnett and The Canberra Times before a court of law? Is there a law aganst making remarks thought to be racist and sexist? Plus was what he said true about "some" Aboriginal women "wiped themselves with a rag" ect? My under standing is some means at least 2. Is there now a law agenst saying things that are not very nice even if there true?

(4) The bit about Indigenous people taking on the Muslim faith: Is this true? What on erth has a belief system emmenating from Arabia 1000 years ago got to do with Abborignal culture? Or have these new recrutes decided its the true faith? If so how did they work that out? Do they realy believe it or is this just some sort of pollitical statment?

Garth,
What I want to know is exactly what happens to the aboriginese when they do end up in jail? Have the Indegenous Tiwi now lost all faith in the judicial process and would rather die out of prison than in? Has the Sheik Hilali initiated the argument or was he simply rebutting against attacks his community have had to put up and remain silent about, for years after years after years? Other than being completely offensive, how are the hygene habits of aboriginal women of any relevance to you and I? And what kind of political statement is becoming a "muslim" (please enlighten me?)

Dunno youd have to ask him.

The rellavence is the question I asked about wether there was a new law etc.

> And what kind of political statement is

I aksed a question and was hoping to get an answer on this from one of the Abboriginese concerned. If one of them ansers you will be
able to see for your self.
