Why blame me for quoting from a given source?
Read the given link - and if you don't like what's being

Now back to the topic.

Violence against Indigenous women is deeply ingrained in
Australia's colonial history which we know condoned the murder,
rape, and sexual abuse of Indigenous women.

Indigenous people
have for hundreds of years suffered gendered violence at the
hands of colonisers. Aboriginal women have fought against
gendered violence perpetuated by white men since day one.

The allegations, cover ups, and silence on gendered violence
in federal parliament is part of the same system of abuse
and the same lack of lethal and political consequences.

The government's 4th action plan to reduce violence
against women and their children, 2010 - 2022, claims one of
its priorities is to "support Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander women and their children."

Sadly, such prioritising has not led to real change.

There is a great need of support from both the government
and also for
the public to speak out against gendered violence instead
of leaving the women and children out of the conversation.

The Human Rights Council in Australia has made it clear that
it is really time for Australia to take this issue seriously
and take the blinkers off and start valuing the lives of
Aboriginal women and girls of this country. Action needs
to be taken.

What’s all that got to do with the extremely high murder rate of Indigenous women?
Take off your blinkers.

If you're not able to understand without an explanation.
You will not understand it with an explanation.

Foxy,
I understand it only to well it’s cultural and has been since time immemorial, as has been said, archaeological evidence points to females being injured at a rate much higher than among other people.
Even wild animals treat their females better.
If poverty were the cause today what was the cause in Tench’s day?
Or is Tench completely unreliable because he contracted to write a book?
Or is hir reliability in question because of his social status?

You don't understand it at all.

Perhaps you should try watching the TV series -
"Horrible Histories."
