AUSTRALIA: MAL BROUGH: And people have been hiding behind what I would call a thin veneer of cultural behaviour or a cultural significance and that is why it occurs and it is nothing but lies. What Betty had to say from Alice Springs - and I met with Betty two weeks ago - puts this into stark reality; that these are crimes against children that don't occur in any other culture and they don't occur in this culture. They are simply criminals that need to be dealt with in that fashion. I, quite frankly, think it's wonderful that this has been highlighted to the rest of the Australian public so people can have their sensitivities shocked to the core and as a nation, not just as politicians, but as a nation, we demand that these things change...'

So it's Mal's contention that these crimes occur because of cultural behaviour or significance?

That's what it sounds like. Like a corroboree or initiation rite. Yeah right.

But then these crimes don't occur in any other culture?

I thought I read about a baby rape case in South Africa recently - guess I must have imagined it.

And these crimes don't occur in this culture?

Mal must be reffering to general Aussie culture now or else he's contradicting himself. But, sad and dreadful to relate and rare as they are , child rape and murder and incest DO occur in our white culture as well so Mal must be huffing something to come up with such offensive nonsense as this.

No we must deal with the criminals...not so fast

What about the criminals that drove a young boy into a fence where his neck was impaled?

And what about the criminals who killed Cameron on Palm Island?

And what about the criminals trading wheat for weapons with the worlds worst terorists?

And what about the criminals who set up torture chambers for little kiddies where conditions were so bad there was a backbench revolt?

( Led by well known Toorak terrorist, Petro Georgio )

And what of the supreme criminals ( according to the Nuremberg precendent waging aggresive war is the supreme international crime. )

What of these supreme criminals whose collective conspiratorial efforts have maimed and murdered thousands of small children over the last few years?

These criminals are the ones who have been in charge for the last 10 years!

During that time we've had a lot of lectures from foaming fascists friends of the PMs like Keith Windshuttle. Lectures in holocaust denial and hate speech that leave David Irving for dead!

We have seen the cold shoulder given reconciliation and any notion of the sort of treaty that NZ, Canada arrived at. Even the reactionary right wing racist septic tanks have shamed Australias response to the systemic genocidal ethnic cleansing that stole these places for white European colonialists.

The last ten years have been a low despicable exercise in blaming the victim and building Apartheid. Sustained spying on, locking up and community wrecking by the criminal Howard regime.

And they now call long and loud for law and order!

Law and order would start with them taking a good long look in their League of rights mirror.

Law and order would look to restoring justice for the theft, rape, castration and pain heaped on all first Australians.

It would set aside billions for their rehabilitation from the stolen generations, the wasted lives and the damage done. Some small restitution.

Mal Brough offers nothing but insult to injury. More repression - more deaths in custody and if the last ten years are any guide another lunar right wing crime wave.

A crime wave that has already raped , maimed and murdered thousands of baby children. The earth cries out for justice. The wretched of the earth deserve justice.

Those who steal must pay.

The way I see it is that if you disturb a few generations then you disturb future generations. In Australian today counting the whites and all cultures we have up to three generations of families without SOCIAL SKILLS to pass on to their children. Sad but true. It is because they didn't get them either!

If children don't learn social skills in school then it will only get worse.

This is the cure for violence and domestic violence and will prevent people becoming a potential victim of crime as well as save people from youth suicide.

The school curriculum must be split 50/50 academic/social skills. That means the 5 per cent of people who fall over and go to hospital, jail or the morgue won't!

They will learn

Communication, Conflict Resolution, and Self Worth.

This is what prevents crime, violence, bullying, leaving one self vulnerable, provocation, and youth suicide.

All the money saved from hospitals, jails and the victim industry will be returned back to the community.

Did your parents smack you when you were a kid?
