As for the Aboriginal violence in the NT?

The government has to take action instead of
just "lip service" as stated earlier. Recommendations
have been made from within the areas affected.
More action is needed, not excuses.

This might help:

I know that this is probably going to be one of those things you don't get because you don't want to get it...but one more try.

I'm not saying the government shouldn't, wouldn't or couldn't do all the things the reports authors recommend. More refuges - sure. Better police training- OK. More police-always good. Gaoling offenders - of course.

But the one thing they haven't done, don't recommend doing and can't even raise, is confronting the inherent misogyny in the male aboriginal community in the NT.

Occasionally the veil gets lifted and we hear of the "cultural shame" that the misogyny and resultant DV entails but governments and the virtue signalling bureaucracy cannot bring itself to acknowledge, let alone confront it.

So the DV will continue. Aboriginal women will continue to die in disproportionate numbers and be hospitalised in disproportionate numbers. And that will continue until someone or some group becomes sufficiently motivated to address the background cause.

mhaze,

As far as I know the Aboriginal community groups and
organisations in the NT and around Australia have
tried and are trying to address the issues concerned.
They have made and are making recommendations.

The problems appear to be complex, and it's not a matter
of one size fits all.

Hopefully actions will be taken sooner rather than later.
Perhaps if The Voice would have been approved to allow
Aboriginal self determination in allowing Aboriginal
communities to advise the government in issues that
confront the Aboriginal communities - had Australia
allowed for this to happen - Australia may have been
headed in the right direction. Unfortunately Australia
said No!

Phew! thank God Foxy.

I thought for a moment there that the historic millennial old aboriginal misogyny and violence toward women and girls might have had something to do with their culture.

Its reassuring to know that it was all the fault of we Australians who failed to vote as our betters had instructed.

I'm sure the next time an aboriginal women suffers a beating or worse from her partner, her first thought will be that she wished they had a bunch of bureaucrats in Canberra to talk about it.

Anyone who has ever witnessed Aboriginal women stirring up their men requires no explanation or reason regarding domestic violence in indigenous communities !
In our European society anyone who has experienced social workers does not need any explanation for domestic violence either !
