I am unsure why some one else did not start this thread but it should scream a warning to every one of us.
This child had been raped at 7 years of age in this same community.
Removed then returned she was raped again! by in the prosecutes words very naughty men!
Do we except this is as bad as any story out of Americas south? as racist? as blind and stupid as so called justice ever gets?
Yes it was people from her own community who committed these acts.
But a very real crime, tragic and criminal was done to this child by white mans justice.
If it was a white child?
Heat shame and anger force me not to say what I truly think.
But rest assured it is fact! I think the people who handed down this disgusting verdict should be sack charged and imprisoned.
Judge? 2 years in prison .
Adviser? the naughty boys bloke 5 years no n parole \.
QLD Minister did you see her?
a job swap give her a mop and bucket and the wages that comes with her skills.
Away for a few days in Melbourne but hope the thread is used to show we are not a racist country.

I wonder - if this child had not been placed back in the Aboriginal community would that decision have constituted a 'stolen generation'.

Apart from that - the investigation was carried out and offenders charged - it was the institutional 'court' that let down the child - that let down the community.

Which raises the question - how many times has the crime been committed in mainstream without any investigative action being taken?

I really cannot understand how a child that has been abused could ever be returned back into the hands of the abusers. That's insane!
And Belly, you're right it does scream of racism. I can't imagine the same thing being allowed to happen to a white child.

This atrocity should be shouted from the roof-tops. Only with great public outrage will something be done. But it can't be allowed to continue to happen. Where are the Aboriginal Elders and legal advisers on issues like this? Why aren't we seeing more action ?
Is everyone scared and trying to be 'political correct?' Good Heavens, it's children's lives we're talking about here. Something needs to be done and quickly!

I wrote this at my blog the otherday

I find it absolutely unbelievable that a ten year old girl can be sexually abused by a gang of nine males and not even one of them can end up behind bars. The fact that both the offenders and the victim are all indigenous should not make any difference, but clearly it does to this court under judge Sarah Bradley. Call me old-fashioned but I have this vague notion that anyone who commits a crime should face the same punishment as any one else who commits crimes of a similar nature. You can’t possibly convince me that had the the perps, or more importantly, the victim here been of Anglo extraction that these nine scum bags would not be doing porridge right now, there have been harsher sentences handed down to individuals who have only “inappropriately touched” young children and yet this girl was gang raped….

If the children of our indigenous people are to be protected then the judicial response to their violation has to be as harsh as it is consistent, offenders such as these should expect to spend very long periods in prison and at the very least they should have convictions recorded so that they are forever known as the rapists that they admit to being. The notion that “no conviction be recorded” for such offences beggars belief, Certainly “no conviction” decisions are appropriate for minor offences, like pilfering or public drunkenness but when it comes to the violation of a child it just adds insult to injury.

What is the bet that the whining classes of the left find some reason to “understand” the courts decision here because of “cultural sensitivity”?

Very angry about this, Comrades

The little girl was taken from a white foster family in Cairns

and sent back to Aurukun. (A more horrible place I've never been to)

Because of cultural considerations. This isnt racism...

This is called white guilt over the apparent stolen generation and a report that was titled the (bringing them home report).

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard happening to a child.

My GOD, If Bilal Skaff got 46years for pack RAPE then these bastards should be speard up the arse and tied to a mangrove root at low tide to be turned into CROC sh$t.

Still Sarah Bradeley and DOCS shouldnt be the only ones to be sent to gaol.

All the do-gooders who have fought tooth and nail for aboriginals to have special dispensation shoulder this as well for it is them who have allowed this to happen.

Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing For Fear of Being Called Racist.

Belly,

I have nothing much to add except my disgust that this happened. Thank you for starting the thread.

I did wonder why you would give the Judge 2 years and the prosecutor 5 years. Yes he made some stupid comments and seemed completely incompetent. Thank goodness they pleaded guilty and he wasn't running a trial. Nevertheless he is near the bottom of the legal food chain and I would have thought the expectations for him were much lower? More importantly he wasn't the judge. I suspect his comments wouldn't have got a mention if the media didn't love judges and he didn't work for Leanne Clare (in the sense that she is the head of the Department).

Iain,

Thank you too for putting something similar on your blog site.
