So, here we have a problem that is:
1) caused mainly by aboriginals (this violence the ABC was referring to is mostly being perpetrated by aboriginal men),
2) affects mainly aboriginals (it's aboriginals women being killed and aboriginal families and communities suffering as a result),
3) and happens mainly in communities with high aboriginal populations.

Since this is mainly an aboriginal problem in THEIR communities, let them fix it with THEIR own resources. After all, we're constantly being told that aboriginals must have the right and freedom to govern themselves. Well, here's an opportunity for the aboriginal leadership to shine and take action. Now's their chance to demonstrate to us that they are capable of managing their own communities' affairs.

Why should it be the responsibility of others (eg. tax payers who don't live in remote communities) to fix?

Foxy,
As usual you didn’t answer the question, given that other communities and cultures suffer the same socio-economic problems, why is the murder rate of Aboriginal women so high?
Indeed the incidence of violence toward Aboriginal women is higher than in other groups.
But the murder rate is the question and no one has answered it yet apart from those who see it as cultural as well as the other factors.

Hi Issy,

Why do so many people with guns murder other people, I think its a cultural thing among the 'Gun Nut' community.

There you are, Foxy answered your question. Foxy please stop engaging with Issy on "Answer My Question!", he's only trying to get you to "fire" back. BTW I picked up that book from the library today.

No worries.

Let me know what you think of the book.

Goebbels,
Still on with the guns.
Why the fixation?
Was it losing the Model 12 Lithgow rifle?
You’ll be pleased to hear, no doubt, that the magazines are now worth more than the rifles.
