As a peak Aboriginal community-controlled health body we recognise only too well the substantive structural change that is required given the ongoing burden of poverty, discrimination and ill-health that our people continue to bear. The Uluru Statement From the Heart will make a difference but can only do so if we allow it to succeed. It is both a gift and a challenge that we ignore at our peril.”
– The Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance NT on the necessity of a Voice, 17 May
Rather than generate more recommendations from yet more inquiries, we need to ensure we implement existing recommendations from previous inquiries, including the Royal Commission into the Detention and Protection of Children.”

The Westminster Declaration
Child sexual abuse – there’s no neutral position – you’re either for it or against it.

This is an inadvertent admission the voice was never required.
‘Nuther one.
Moira Deeming’s push for inquiry into gender-affirming care voted down (Sky News, 19 Oct)
The Left sure doesn’t want to know about kids being harmed. I wonder why that is?
When you experience the true evil of these organisations for yourself, where they are directly confronted with the human misery they cause yet don’t care, in fact ensure it not only continues but gets worse, then arguing the finer points with this detritus is pointless.
They work on hate.
Theirs is not a mission to help aboriginal people at all.
They are consumed by a hatred of the west and work daily to bring about it’s destruction.
It is what is foremost in their minds.
It’s what their departments exist for.
Their mission statement should read.
“We work toward the utopia of communism via the destruction of the colonialist repressive capitalist west in any way we can, using any methods, especially ones that can be cloaked in other objectives….comrades”
We fund our own demise.
Rather, these are the people who profit from Aboriginal dysfunction. Now they have another 260 million taxpayer dollars to play with from Labor!
There’ll always be funding for people prepared to sell out.
Why does Noel Pearson live in Noosa?
Because broken jaws are no fun, that’s what he could expect in Hopevale.
It’s not a lot different to the hand wringing and wailing about Palestinian victims. Yes, it’s sad that innocent people are dying in Gaza, but no amount of wailing will change the simple fact that Hamas is in control over whether people on both sides continue to die. Had Hamas stopped sending rockets, paragliders and armed insurgents, the killing would have stopped. Any carry on about equivalency in the numbers of dead totally ignores that Hamas hides the terrorists among the innocent to deliberately inflate those numbers and use them to drive their next round of terror.
The only constant is that if you give ground to them, they will take it.
How likely is it that there are any Hamas terrorists in Northern and Central Gaza at the moment?
They all headed south last week, before the bombing started.
Those missiles must be fired by someone Mr Ed. Please try harder, you are only impressing yourself.
It’s sorta OT, but this Maremma Sheepdog ran away from his owners but they finally found him.
Why did he run away?

Re The Westminster Declaration –
Strangely, didn’t notice a single ABC or BBC reporter’s name, nor any from The Guardian. I wonder why?
I was vigorously opposed to “the voice” and am opposed to this idea of a RC into child sexual abuse.
My reason for opposing the latter is the same as for the former: it is highly unlikely to achieve anything.
There have been numerous inquiries in the past that have established the reasons for the abuse (and identified remedies). Another enquiry would probably just be kicking the can down the road.
We know why and how the abuse occurs. We also know how to reduce it. No RC is necessary.
Absolutely.
My reason for opposing the latter is the same as for the former: it is highly unlikely to achieve anything.
There’s a big difference:
Therev was no detail on what The Voice was, how it would work in practice or what it meant nfor the Rule Of Law.
We know that Child Sexual Abuse in Aborigin al Communities is rampant, so a Royal Commission is worthwhile, just on the facts.
A logical outlook, Tom.
We do indeed know it’s happening and we already know it should be stamped out; we have the legal means to do it. The problem is that the Aboriginal Industry keeps arguing that dealing with the crisis will be shameful for Aborigines and therefore ‘racist’. This handbrake has to be forcibly disengaged.
On the contrary. As Fiona Stanley has said, the idea of such an inquiry is purely destructive. There is no merit. It’s simply savage point scoring. Disgusting politics.
I meant to add that the handbrake is usually applied by racist whites who don’t believe that black men are authentic adults. Absolving them of agency is the modern leftist’s way of calling them “boy.”
Sure, 6the legal means are there to stamp CSA out, but they appear underutilised.
In the 21st Century, the question must be
Why?
and then go from there.
The best means to answer the question of Why is a Royal Commission.
Let’s have at it!
Alfonso, the teal journalist.
He’s not doing it for $2.39/comment, like some others, is he?

Is that what you’re getting paid Ed??
Best paying job you ever had???
I think a Royal Commission would be a good thing – get it out in the open so everyone can see it.
Too many people don’t have a clue about what goes on.
To say that an inquiry into CSA when we know it’s rampant is a point-scoring exercise, is a tacit admission that the voice itself was a hollow exercise itself that was never meant to solve any problems.
That is, if there is no merit in looking into the dysfunction because you lost and you’re throwing your lollies out of the pram, you were never interested in fixing the problems in the first place.
Shame on you. It’s also a tacit admission that the Royal Commission into CSA started by the Gillard government was a sham to get at their preferred targets.
… the Royal Commission into CSA started by the Gillard government
It was called
…
Institutional Responses being the key descriptor.
Otherwise, I agree with you.
This.
The mask dropped quickly, didn’t it?
A literal Aboriginal voice to Parliament was told to shut up by Labor.
On the other hand, I heard on the car radio driving home that the government is launching an inquiry into an Aboriginal 16 year old boy’s suicide while in custody.
Apparently one boy’s suicide is a major tragedy which must be investigated, but widespread CSA – nothing to see here, because of pure spite and partisan politics from the left.
Aboriginal voices, saying inconvenient, but true things, asking for the state to investigate and find solutions. This was a test for Uncle Albo, he failed badly, he only wanted a curated set of voices singing from the hymn sheet. That was never going to solve any problems.
The real answer is to stop making excuses and make people take responsibility for their own actions. Having tribal leaders endorse Australian law and its enforcement would be a good first step.
A royal commission is like the Godfather running an inquiry into the Mafia.
It’s not going to achieve anything at all.
However, I agree with fat Tony.
It may get some truths out.
There may be some one with balls that upsets the apple cart.
However, after the last three, nearly for years, trusting a Royal commission is naive to say the least.
nearly FOUR years.

I thought that the Little Children Are Precious report was clear enough, around 20 years ago.
Of course Labor, the Greens and Teals know that some very uncomfortable truths would emerge from such a RC.
Why would any decent person be opposed to a RC or inquiry into sexual abuse against the most vulnerable?
Boambee John
The question is @WHY? is it happening.
I that can obe answered, it can only be answered by a Royal Commission.
Anything else is band aids and window dressing and all the reports from the Past are gathering dust in some soulless archive somewhere.
Of course, Sexual Abuse happens from a position of Power and the blind eye is turned by others in positions of power, so scrutiny will be uncomfortable for all the Parties that have exercised power, or represented those holding power, not just Labor and The Greens

BJ – that was a generation ago – and the name “Little Children are Precious” sounds like one of those old Little Golden Books for little kids.
How about calling the Report – “The rape of toddlers in Aboriginal camps”

It’s happening because the Big Men have been allowed to get away with it for decades. Now they regards it as their right.
Now they regards it as their right.
It’s been their “right” for 60,000+ years, not a recent “right”.
John
That explains Who? What? and Where?
We need to know Why?
Royal Commission required.
Ed
The WHY is simple. Kultur.

It’s happening because the Big Men have been allowed to get away with it for decades. Now they regards it as their right.
Uh huh.
It’s been their “right” for 60,000+ years, not a recent “right”.
Two things:
1.These people haven’t been here 60,000 years, or anything remorely approaching that.
2. Apart from the Arrente, all the Tribes documented by Anthropoly were Matrilineal, i.e., there were Rules about who could and couldn’t marry who else.
Disobedience resulted in Banishment, which meant almost certain death.
The Arrente were Patrilineal, but the concept of the Big Man, or Chief, is from Africa, and never existed among the Australian Natives in their original state of being.
Sure, once the Aborigines were concentrated into Reserves it became convenient for Authoritiues to create Big Men, backed up by the Bully Men.
Which is why a Royal Commission is needed into WHY? Child Sexual Abuse is happening in Aboriginal Communities.
1.These people haven’t been here 60,000 years, or anything remorely approaching that.
Ed – I know that, I was being sarcastic.

No.
No Race could survive, say, 100 Generations with a culture of raping their own children.
This behaviour could only exist where the culture is completely broken.
Ed
They survived many generation of killing and eating many of their children.
