In October last, MLC Gordon Moyes asked, in the house, why no person had been charged for FGM, and as yet received no answer, to my knowledge.
While it is not known how many patients all hospitals treat for post FGM problems, Auburn hospital treats 40-50 per year. This is nearly one per week and Auburn has a specific unit set up for that purpose.
Therefore 500 girls have been mutilated in the past 10 years.
AS a simple medical examination can detect FGM and many victims require proper medical attention, the question has to be asked why no one has been prosicuted.
If a girl victim has been born here and no been out of Australia, the parents or guardian should be responsible. That does not seem too difficult.
If I shoot a kangaroo ilegallly or conducted a bullfight or cockfight, I would be prosecuted.
Looks like some people are immune to prosecution
