Again, same laws, same wrist-slapping for all groups in Australia. Unless you are suggesting blackfellas are treated differently?

ttbn,
Perish the thought, one law forball is the Australian way, of course, if one of the murderers mentioned on the program hadn’t been let out of gaol after he stabbed a woman to death his next unfortunate victim may well have been alive today.

Well yes. But the people calling for the government to 'do something' are very often the same people who complain about the number of aboriginal males in jail. As for the government 'doing something', we have adequate laws to deal with murderers; all governments can do - and should do - is take more interest in whom they appoint as judges, for that is where the fault lies. They could also find out WHY aboriginal women are 12 times more likely to be murdered than women in the rest of the population.

I would think that murders and assaults will be on the rise again since that genius Albanese lifted the ban on alcohol in townships, and removed the cashless card, which will see old people and women having their money violently removed from them by males after grog money. It will be much easier for those who have been breaking and entering in Alice Springs and Darwin to get money and anything that can be sold for grog.

Governments have outsourced many of their responsibilities to judges who are making political decisions without political responsibilities.

"If poverty is a cause then we should have the same murder rate among others who are impoverished."

If you make the trek out to some of the socially disadvantaged suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne and check out the crime rate in those burbs, you might understand. Dysfunctionality which inherently leads to poverty and crime is not simply a product of race or skin colour, it begins with social disadvantage.

Paul1405,
Yes, so why prolong this dreadful situation by bleating disadvantage instead of getting up & make use of the countless initiatives available ?
In our town during most nights you see & hear those disadvantaged roaming the parks & streets screaming & yelling abuse at each other & smashing bottles etc. All of them have families AND homes provided by Govt so why not make use of them ?
People from way outside their towns are needed to perform basic daily tasks because many of these disadvantaged are sleeping it off in the parks during the day. Their own people are doing more than they should be doing for these disadvantaged yet nothing changes.
It is my observation that as many as 95% of homeless are not genuinely homeless, they merely shirk responsibility & lack it as well. The genuine homeless are the ones authorities fail miserably & those in authority must be made way more accountable ! They're the ones with their insane bureaucrat salaries forsaking the genuine needy !

We don’t have the same murder rate among other impoverished groups.
Why not if poverty is a cause?
