"Domestic violence, wife murderer and this is the grub that you look up to? "

What you have to understand, shadowminister, is that these acts are just part of the aboriginal culture. Hell, the poor bugger was just unlucky he did it when he did. In earlier times (you know, before the 'invasion' -boo/hiss) beating and murdering his wife - in reality, his property - would have been entirely acceptable. And if he did it these days, he'd probably get off due to his childhood trauma and misunderstanding of cultural differences.

Quite why he's someone to be admired is a question for the ages but being, or claiming to be, aboriginal means never having to accept responsibility.

And this from a Trump supporter?

What Trump's got to do with this is something only the addled-minded could explain.

It's Foxy's way of saying she doesn't care that Gilbert's a wife killer, because he says what she wants to hear. Sadly a lot of people 'think' like that. That's why aboriginal women suffer domestic violence at 30+ times the rate of other groups.

Kevin Gilbert's life is a remarkable one and one that's been
recognised and acknowledged and awarded accolades for how
against all odds he managed to turn it around.

He was 24 when he was sentenced to life imprisonment for
the murder of his first wife who he suspected was being unfaithful.
He spent over 14 years in the most notorious prisons in NSW.
It was a brutal and dehumanising experience with extended
periods in solitary confinement . With very little education
he managed to turn his life around - achieving a great deal.

His bio is well worth a read - and may help to understand this
remarkable man and his life.."

"It was a brutal and dehumanising experience with extended
periods in solitary confinement . "

Right-on. I bet his wife was relieved she didn't have to endure that.

Another Aboriginal poet of note is - Oodgeroo
Noonuccal - previously known as Kath Walker
Here's just a snippet:

NO MORE BOOMERANG

No more boomerang
No more spear
Now all civilized
Colour bar and beer

No more corroboree
Gay dance and din
Now we got movies
And pay to go in

No more sharing
What the hunter brings
Now we work for money
Then pay it back for things

Now we track bosses
To catch a few bob
Now we go walkabout
On bus to the job

There's much more to the poem. This is just a taste.
It's an interesting read. As is her life story.
