Aboriginal woman murders 8

[mellie]

We need an alternative!

politically speaking.


Our Right wing pussy-whipped nationals, liberals.. etc are too "correct" to speak!

Makes me sick.

Time for an alternative... or would this be too incorrect?


Fed up!

Finally fed up!

If it were a white Australian middle-class father of say "one"... would the same leniency/privacy be extended to him?

Dont make me sick!


So fed up with the hypocrisy!

You have a point, about women mostly getting an easy time of it from public opinion, and hence from the media, when it comes to violent crime.

But you didn't seem to mind the hypocrisy of the OP, demanding that the media should have been shouting "Abo kills own kids", but no one ever demanding "Whitey kills own kids" headlines when that happens. It's always a tragedy, either way. Jackasses making it a race issue isn't going to help the family

[IQS.RLOW]

If the kids werent removed from a dangerous situation because of authorities being too scared of being labeled the next "stolen generation", then it is a 'race' issue.

When speaking of equality... if this were an urbane white Australian mum...would the headlines read the same?

No...

She's a noog,,, so we are all supposed to forget it ever happened.


Sorry, but we are.

The colour of her skin would make no difference in this case. A Caucasian female might do the same given similar circumstances. The mother was arrested, as would any person who just killed 8 children.

What can the media say before they know the facts?

Recall the Victorian father who beat his son to death with a cricket bat?

The media didn't mind dredging up his life-story and naming him for us all to read.

We will be lucky to hear anything more about this Torres Strait islander woman.

Looks as though the media are going to bare all.

She's been named, and apparently she was displaying some rather unusual behaviour in the lead up to this tragedy.

My heart goes out to the father and the community.

Apparently there were reports of "unspeakable" violence at the house in the days leading up to the massacre.

So tragic, this mother had so much to live for....


Family, Christmas, ...the price of petrol having dropped recently.

Now Mel that's not very nice. Aboriginals aren't the only addicts in this country. We've got plenty of white bogans too who put drugs before their kids.

I knew you would get it Mantra...

Anyway, I cant take credit for Barts sentiments... he posted this same thing up on youtube,,, but not too many got it.



I'm glad you did Mantra.

If nothing else, we Australians still have our sense of humour at least.


At least I hope.


Remember the days when we all used to laugh at ourselves and each other?


Since the era of Political Correctness.... this has been quelched.


I recall Cracker days fondly.

I know a couple of females on here who have admitted to an Aboriginal background and/or married into that ancestry. It is obvious that they would vote other than the Coalition.
