SIG,
I do not need to give stats and figures. I am giving my opinion and you obviously did not spend long looking up FGM, judging by your ignorance of the issue. You are simply making excuses for Government inaction and hypocracy.

These are Aussie born girls that are being mutilated! One Sydney hospital alone has a specific department to treat patients with post FGM problems and they treat 50 a year For at least 14 years there has been education and still FGM is carried out. The last correspondence I received from the NSW Minister for Health it was stated that there were (wait for it) 'cultural considerations' Can you believe this, pieces of flesh are being hacked off Aussie girls, most likely on kitchen tables, and the Government is concerned about cultural issues,

There are no stats for FGM prosecutions because there have been no prosecutions yet we regularly see reports of cockfight raids. Go figure that.

Ludwig is right about Government hypocracy. Turning a blind eye to beach nudity is one and a blind eye to FGM is another glaring example.

On the subject of anomalies in law enforcement, over a 3 month period I reported to the police the number plates of a car driven by some youths that were trying to yank a street sign off a pole one night and a ute driven by a drunk that nearly ran me down at a zebra crossing because he didn't see me (I know this because he stopped to kindly tell how lucky I was, as he was "Bliiiind!").

The cops were quick to get back to me on the pole incident asking me if I wanted to go to court etc etc. But not a boo about the drunk driver.

Now you'd think the drunk driver would have got the treatment, but no. The problem here is that path-of-least-resistance policing is going on: that is, if it's too hard, they just ignore it. They keep their gunpowder dry for hammering those easy targets who do a little bit wrong.

Banjo i may have talked through this once with you before... Genital mutilation doesn't require a gender prefix: It affects both sexes....in fact male genital mutilation is far more common. It's hypocritical to mention about FGM while deliberately refusing to mention MGM. Next time just say cicrumcision on any child, alright? This sexism does you no good at all.

Steel,
I know you have an obsesseion with male circumcission but if i chose to show FGM as a seperate unlawful practice I will. OK!

FGM is shown on this thread as another example of Government hypocracy in ignoring an unlawful practice, instead of upholding the existing law or changing it. Government hypocracy was the basis of Ludwig's original thread. I would like others to show more examples as there must be many.

I don't have an obsession with it. It's more that you have some quirky, sexist obsession with female circumcision and i am compelled to call you on it.

Steel,
You have demonstrated your obsession with male circumsission by barging in with your views on other threads where FGM was discussed. You could start a thread on the matter yourself.

I believe you to be an obsessed dropkick and I should not have even replied to your post after the comments you made about huffnpuff. It won't happen again.
