White
Australia Grossly Abusing Indigenous And Asian Children

The
right-wing, Bush-ite Australian Federal Government has attempted to
shore up its flagging supporting an election year by “invading”
Northern Territory Aboriginal (Indigenous) communities with troops in
battle dress – ostensibly to deal with “Aboriginal Child
Abuse”. This is widely seen as a cynical and racist “land
grab” and an exercise in bolstering the racist vote in White Australia.
The Australian National Indigenous
Times devoted a recent issue (including a key analysis by me) to the
sheer outrage of Aboriginal avoidable morbidity and mortality (see:
“The Awful Truth”, National Indigenous Times, 14 June 2007:
http://www.nit.com.au/news/story.aspx?id=11555
) - the Bush-ite Australian Government is guilty of horrendous crimes
against the Indigenous people as well as against Asian children in the
Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories..
Read the official Report
on Aboriginal Child Bbuse in Australia’s Northern territory, "Little
Children are Sacred", and you will discover that the authors were
unable to determine the extent of Aboriginal Child Sexual Abuse. However
there is no doubt from shocking anecdotal accounts that is its occurring.
The racism and neglect of Australian State and Federal Governments -
and in particular that of the racist, extreme right wing, Bush-ite Federal
Government - have created these appalling conditions.
To illustrate the sheer hypocrisy
and dishonesty of the racist, Bush-ite Australian Government it is useful
to examine the Northern Territory Child Sexual Abuse reality in a QUANTITATIVE
way. There is no doubt from the shocking anecdotal accounts in the Report
that from a QUALITATIVE perspective Aboriginal Child Sexual Abuse is
occurring and must be urgently stopped. However the Report (p57) states
that “it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of
child sexual abuse in the Northern Territory”.
In contrast, the Report refers
to studies in AMERICA indicating that 25% of females and 10% of males
experience childhood sexual abuse (Finkelhor, D. (1994), Current information
on the scope and nature of child sexual abuse”, Future of Children,
4(2), pp31-53) and in AUSTRALIA indicating that 34% of females and 16%
of males experienced child sexual abuse (Dunne, M.P., Purdie, D.M.,
Cook, M.D., Boyle, F.M. & Najman, J.M.(2003), Is child sexual abuse
declining? Evidence from a population-based survey of men and women
in Australia, Child Abuse & Neglect, vol. 27 (2), pp141-152).
Decent, anti-racist Australians
support provision of more police, doctors, nurses, welfare workers,
teachers and decent housing and improved social conditions in general
for remote Aboriginal communities – communities that are deprived
by Racist Governments of so many of the services that White Australians
take for granted.
The “Little Children
are Sacred” Report recommendation #1 asked for such services -
but also said that they should be provided in a sensible and consultative
way. However this recommendation has been grossly violated by the Bush-ite
Government sending in the army in battle dress, seizing Land - which
is sacred to Aborigines and indeed to White Australians - and acting
in a racially-selective way i.e a racist way.
The biggest child abuser
in Australia is the Bush-ite Australian Government under which there
have been over 1,600 avoidable under-5 Aboriginal deaths, 90,000 avoidable
Indigenous deaths (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/15140/42/
), 0.5 million under-5 year old post-invasion infant deaths in Occupied
Iraq (90% avoidable and due to US-UK-Australian war crimes) and 1.9
million under-5 post-invasion infant deaths in Occupied Afghanistan
(also 90% avoidable and similarly due to US-UK-Australian war crimes
in contravention of the Geneva Convention) (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/13099/26/
).

The shocking thing about
the continuing Aboriginal Genocide in Australia is the Orwellian reality
that means that Mainstream media simply will NOT report the actuality
of Bush-ite Australian Government Child Abuse at home and abroad and
indeed are turning truth on it’s head by pretending that Australia’s
worst child abuser - the mass paedocidal Australian Federal Government
– is the diametrical opposite.
