You are up to your usual deflections and red herrings. It is necessary to dispel what you have posted and hoping that the thread will not be hijacked from the OP.
Where Catholic priests offended against children, the individual clergy, their bishops and the church are held responsible.
Yet where indigenous men are raping children you hand them a 'get out of gaol free card' by shifting the blame to the Australian public, or 'whites' as you usually have it.
How does that work?
This is the reality that you always duck (see post below),
<The women may think they are protecting the girls but in reality their actions do little.
I have lived in a community and I have grandchildren currently living in communities. The most common protective gesture is teaching girls to wear several layers of clothes, especially bottom half.
A little girl will wear a pair of knickers, covered by cycle shorts, covered by leggings or jeans or floppy shorts. The girls don't know why, it's just always been told to them.
Some mothers do put a lock on a door but that's a worry in case of fire when the women are gone playIng cards all night.
What the women don't do is report the men. Neither do many of the girls report what is happening because the first time they tried it they got slapped for speaking up or got told to learn to live with it, it's normal.
You can't even raise the issue in public sessions because the aboriginal people who hate that this happens also are terrified they are going to be labelled the same so all they want to do is bury the information.
Small efforts to make change will not work. We need a " rip the bandaide off quickly" approach. Communities should have been included in the recent Royal Commission.
