This TTBN bloke sees something that the majority of Australians do not. He has an attitude to the ABC which he has said he does not watch. I don't know how he can say the ABC is biased. News has to happen to be news. How can you see bias in that.

To say that if Bill was PM we would not know about it. His mind works in ways that presume bias exist with everything ABC.

To do such a thing someone has had a tip off as to what was happening in the NT. That is not bias.

The whole staff should be suspended immediately and replacement staff
flown in from different states.
That done no chance of a mates coverup.

Doog, anyone who thinks the ABC is not biased is wearing rose coloured glasses.
As I said before, my son worked there for years from a teenager.
The first day he went to work he was told, don't let on how you vote
if you are a Liberal voter, or pretend you vote Labour, if you want a career here.
It was still like that recently. The closet does not hold gays at the ABC it holds Liberal voters !

Interesting to note that the Human Rights Commissioner Jillian Triggs herself has quoted: "...the rule of law..." should apply. Something the parliamentarians of all creeds, colours, sexual preferences and political persuasions of recent times seem to have forgotten.

The creeping fascism that has been the modus operandi in the NT and indeed federally for many years now is now "outed" in the form of human rights abuses within our own prisons & from within our injustice systems.

The systematic torture at Guantanamo as evidenced in the capture, incarceration, and denial of human rights of another Australian citizen, David Hicks is also documented.

The ongoing travesty of ignoring common law rights, & ongoing breaches of human rights inside detention centres at Manus Island.

Let us not forget another Australian Citizen holding out at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

For those who see differently let us imagine the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller...

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me...

for I am an Aboriginal, I am the boy from Bagot Community who stole your neighbours pushbike last night and here I am on TV ...naked,hooded, alone and abused by the authorities who say THEY uphold justice."

'for I am an Aboriginal, I am the boy from Bagot Community who stole your neighbours pushbike l

twisting the truth helps no one Albie. Kids who end up in these places have had numerous other soft touch programs. Many of them have very violent histories. To distort that helps no one.

Runner...I am that aboriginal kid who stole your bike...back in the 1960's. The copper who gave me the swift kick in the ar*e & then sent me on my way, later coming by after his shift had finished and speaking to my parents passed away in 2012. Jim is gone, along with the ethos and kindness we had in the Darwin community. Jim was one of the last NT Coppers to do the camel patrols in the Gulf Country.

As it turned out I ended up renting a place 3 doors up from where he had retired in Karama. So it goes in life, we spent many happy afternoons discussing life and work. Like the RSM's who similarly shaped me into a half decent human being during my Army career it is sad that society has degenerated into its current state. Yes to distort the truth means we can bend it just a bit more each time...until we end up with something like Germany in the 1930's perhaps ?

No doubt of it Runner there are some rather sick and twisted human beings - on both sides of the barbed wire at Don Dale.

Runner, do you think that because of the probably plenty of criminal acts these minors have committed in the community that they deserve what they got in the videos we viewed?
What do think is reasonable punishment for underage children then?
