Aboriginals do steal off other skin (another tribal group). Within their skin group its not stealing as everything belongs to everyone within the skin group.
This is why its a joke when pseudo aboriginals claim that they are all one people on Australia Day when there are over 500 tribes many of whom cannot and winot even SIT near one another out west unless a tribal elder is present.

An ethnic group within whom the youth feel stealing from white people is OK or even great , cannot expect ANY respect in return.

Its our hard work and tax's that produce the welfare that many aboriginals prefer to receive rather than make an effort to become equal.

'Because crimes committed by white people have explanations too'

thankyou AJ for that acknowledgement.

People are still banging on as if it is an injustice for aboriginal people to be gaoled for their crimes when the fact is that their own law system is very barbaric. Many aboriginals show utter contempt for what they consider white mans law. To them stealing is justified because they listen to the foolish historians who twist history to say that they lived in some sort of paradise before white man came here. Nothing is further from the truth. Now is paradise in comparison however many choose to live in squalor instead.

Dear runner,

The way you express yourself and what you say indicates to me that you make things up as you go along. I don't think you have any knowledge of history, anthropology, archaeology, or sociology. Like most of the other people on The Forum you believe that knowledge is something that you invent to suit your particular view about a subject. For you, it's irrelevant whether or not your invented knowledge can be supported by any historical, anthropological, archaeological or sociological evidence. Yours is the sort of knowledge that belongs in the pub or the backyard barbecue or in a conversation with John Howard or Andrew Bolt. Are you actually aware of just how simple minded you look when you come out with the sort of statements you make?

Hi there RUNNER...

You're quite correct when you assert that many black men flog their women (spouses) folk, as a process of dispute resolution! Again, the reasons are complex and beyond me? However, whenever I've attended a DV job in the bush, and sought an explanation from the offender, he'd often say "I dunno boss, I was pissed".

While taking a statement from the complainant, they'd more often than not, want to withdraw the allegation? This is another confusing feature in this whole DV predicament that seems to plague so many indigenous people? Quite often the female complainant is well and truly inebriated herself, and has often initiated the whole melee, by assaulting her man (husband), thus precipitating his violent response?

If charges weren't preferred, I often put the offending culprit in the back of the truck, take him into town and lock him up for 24 hours or so, thus allowing time for sobriety and for temper's to cool.

Mr opinion

when you can be seen to be a tenth of the rationality of Bolt you might get a little credibility. You are either naïve or deliberately ignorant.

Dear runner,

Telling me I will never be on the same level as Andrew Bolt is one of the greatest compliments anyone could ever pay me. I am everything that Andrew Bolt is not. But obviously you and Bolt have a lot in common, which is easy to tell from your obvious absence of knowledge in the numerous fields you think you are qualified to discuss.
