On 4 Corners (ABC) tonight there will be a program discussing the horrendous murder rate of Indigenous women, which is said to be 12 times the national average and in some localities it is the highest in the World.

How could it come to this in Australia?

Come to this? It has been going on for a long time, and only the people involved can stop it, while the ridiculous Labor government is concerned only with virtue signalling via a voice to parliament, which is the last thing aboriginal people in remote communities would be interested in.

Amid clamour for the Voice among the Left it is virtually impossible to find anyone willing to make feet-on-the-ground, long-term commitments to helping Aboriginal people in remote communities. That would involve confronting real people with real problems and sacrificing the trappings of inner-city life.

Dear Is Mise,

This is a huge issue, most of it stemming form poverty and poor access to services. It needs a concerted effort to deal with it.

The murder rate in the NT is getting close to that of the US which is horrendous.

What is mindblowing is that someone like you, an avowed gunrights advocate, who has longed for American style gun "freedoms" which would turn our cities and schools into war zones, is raising high murder rates as an issue.

You really don't get to do that without getting called out.

Steele,
The murder rate for indiginous women is almost twice the US murder rate, which stood at 6.52/100,000 in 2020, the latest figures that I could find,

The rest of your post is irrelevant, inaccurate and untrue,; are you vying with Goebbels for OLO fool of the month?

This has to be taken seriously, the system is failing Aboriginal women, from the government, police and the judiciary there is a lack of understand of the problem, and how best to deal with it. Steele, you are right poverty and social inequality are the root cause, but action is needed now.

Why is something not being done about this if it's been
going on for decades? Where's Senator Jacinta Price on this?
What has she done about any of it for her people? For that
matter - what about Marcia Langdon and Linda Burney? There are
so many good Indigenous female leaders - where are they in
real terms of helping other Indigenous women? I don't want to
finger-point at anyone - but action is needed and it's needed
now.
