Banjo said, "There has not been one (FGM) prosecution to date/ since 1994-5".

Oh dear, Banjo Banjo Banjo. I read your post several minutes ago. Then I immediately typed the appropriate search term into google, then 20 seconds later I had this http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-11/prosecutions-and-help-follow-fgm-reports/4422480

So in a mere 20 seconds, I was able to find 8 FGM prosecutions in just ONE state during a mere 2 month period between October and December 2012.

Banjo really hates non whites and Muslims (he thinks they are always one and the same), and he's prepared to tell untruths in order to advance his un-Australian agenda.

May May,
You really are a stupid woman.

Note the date, it was 2012. The eight charged in NSW is now reduced to 3 and the case has still to come before the court. I referred to this in my first post, it keeps getting adjourned and may be heard next year.

The WA case was dropped.

So silly woman, try again.

I must commend the ABC for raising the issue of FGM occasionally. While persons such as May consider it important for all immigrants to retain their cultures, irrespective of how alien the culture may be, rather than protect little girls May thinks it far more important to attack the motives of those who raise the issue.

Maybe May would like us to condone burning wives, acid attacks or consumption of dog meat, dolphins or human placenta. Or how about stoning adulterous women and honour killing. Multiculturalists want all cultural practices

yep FGM is abhorent although chopping up unborn babies much worse. Islam and secularism are both death cults.

Banjo keeps trying really, really hard and he keeps failing really really badly. He's very loose with the truth, and just isn't man enough to admit he got it wrong.

Banjo's false initial claim was, "There has not been one (FGM) prosecution to date". Then with a 20 second google search I proved him to be a liar. EIGHT people were "prosecuted", and FOUR of those prosecutions against one man and 3 women remain in place due to legal argument in the court system http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/sydney-sheikh-in-court-over-female-genital-mutilation-20120913-25ubq.html And there's 1 further "prosecution" that's been launched against a man who had arranged from Australia for an FGM to be performed outside Australia when he travelled with his daughter http://www.au.ibtimes.com/articles/532562/20140102/female-genital-mutilation-sydney-circumcision-nsw.htm#.VDPuehZqOM_

So, I have now fully proven that Banjo can't tell the truth, and then proceeds to try to cover up his lies. I have proved there's FIVE current "prosecutions" before the court. Banjo falsely stated "there has not been one (FGM) prosecution to date".

Banjo has been twisting the truth because he thinks it suits his pro white/anti Muslim agenda. He thinks Aussie Muslims aren't "white".

On the other hand, maybe he's not bright enough to understand the difference between a prosecution and a conviction --- but surely, surely he couldn't be that dense, could he?

Banjo, if you are unable to admit that you are wrong on factual issues, it is hardly surprising that your motives for bringing this practice to our attention will be questioned.

>>Pericles, Firstly, yes FGM is illegal in all states and has been for 20 years. Secondly there has not been one prosecution in Aus.<<

You have already been called out on the prosecutions. So let's concentrate on your "remedy".

>>Identifying the 'at risk' girls is simple<<

There is no argument, FGM is unacceptable under Australian law. There is no argument, child abuse is unacceptable under Australian law. There is no argument, spouse abuse is unacceptable under Australian law. Applying your logic equally to these three entirely accurate statements, you would require, by law, that every spouse and every child is examined regularly by state officials, to determine whether abuse has taken place.

So the only possible conclusion is that you are having a really hard blow on the whack-a-mozzie dog whistle.

You and madam speaker make a fine pair.
