otb,

What an odd character you are...Lol!

You're obviously more interested in trumpeting your fantasies about the motivation for other people's posts than you are discussing the prevalence of childhood injury as a result of DV.

If you wished to avoid other people including Children in your thread on the "Holistic Approach to Domestic Violence" - you should have said so.

I'll let you get back to the purpose of your thread which, judging by your own contributions, was put up, not to approach the subject in an holistic fashion, but as an excuse for you (once again) to gush forth blaming women for much domestic violence.

(We all knew from the outset why you started the thread - so I'm sure you don't mind me calling a spade a spade - holistically, of course)

Off you go, scrabble about and pour out some more of your stuff - or better still, do what you always do - link to stuff you've already posted a few times, or to something scintillating you've written and posted previously.

We look forward to it!

Until people are smart enough to look at what causes such anger among mainly men (not exclusively), dv will never be addressed with any great success. Many men sit in prisons after breaching restraining orders because partners have invited them around and then ring the police. This is a common game among the Indigenous. No fault divorce is an absolute joke. The social engineers who encouraged the breakdown of the normal family have a lot to answer for. We know have generations of angry bitter people. A whole industry of funded by Government money has now been given to mainly feminist groups to address the issues largely created by social engineers. Sad world. As for dv rates among homosexuals (one is not allowed to go there).

......My bet is that, in Alice Springs Hospital at this moment, there are fifty times more Aboriginal women lying battered and bruised from their beloveds, than Aboriginal men lying battered and bruised from their beloveds.

Yes Joe, and how many of those beaten and battered were down the pub drinking away the last of their welfare handout only to be beaten when the EFTPOS machine said, NO MORE!

Also, how many of those beaten and battered go back for seconds, thirds and so on.

Get a grip, wake up, and smell the roses mate.

Is Mis .....find it interesting that gun owners would appear to be less violent than others.

I've owned a gun since I was 16 and I'm not violent.

Back to the topic.

As I have said, take away the drugs, the indigenous, the imports and the morons, domestic violence is not really a problem, it's a preventable issue and it's wasting billions of dollars of our taxes, taxes that could be put to far better use.

Il bet there will be an enquiry into where the funds are going and il bet there are billions being ripped out by dodgy organizations.

Butch,

So ..... are you suggesting that any women who are beaten up twice, three times, four times every month, or more often than that - should be counted as only 'one incidence of DV' each in the annual statistics ?

Quite creative, really.

Joe

No Joe, what I'm saying is the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.

Drugs and alcohol can be a great thing, especially when the tax payer is paying the bill.

The quarantining of welfare would be step one if we are serious about tackling indigenous DV.

Blunt, but true Joe.

So many people are reluctant to see it as it is. First we provide the fuel ( welfare cash handouts) then we hold an inquiry into what's going wrong, not to mention wasting billions on the symptom.

Remove the fuel Joe and much of the problem will be gone.

Once we clean that mess up ( huge ask) we can then move to the next problem area.

Political correctness see us attacking problems with one handv ied behind out backs.

ITS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE and see this for what it really is and more importantly stop throwing money at the symptoms and identify and address the causes.

I say again, if we remove the drugs, alcohol, imports and indigenous from DV cases, do we still have a major problem, onevworth throwing billions at. My tip would be no, what's yours Joe.

Try some debate Joe, rather than just trying to manipulate my words.

@ rehctub, "ITS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE and see this for what it really is and more importantly stop throwing money at the symptoms and identify and address the causes."

Absolutely correct.
