ABC Lateline Expose Shows Stolen Generation Was Really the Saved
Generation

The expose on ABC Lateline Monday May 15th, 2006, on the depredation of Aboriginal communities in the Northern  Territory,  illustrated  the hypocrisy that has surrounded the Australian indigenous  question for the last 40 years.

The so-called stolen generation were in reality children who were taken away from conditions like those portrayed in Lateline and brought up in white communities  for their own protection.

If children are taken now out of these communities to remove them from danger will they be labelled another "stolen generation"?

Four decades  of Native Title,  ATSIC, land rights, tent embassies, do-gooders, bleeding hearts, allowances for "cultural sensitivity", Black Deaths in Custody inquiries and billions of taxpayers' dollars thrown into the  black hole of the aboriginal racket have done nothing to assuage the child-rape, wife bashing,  murder, drug addiction, alcoholism   and petrol sniffing  that have become the curse of such remote aboriginal settlements.  In fact all these pantomimes have achieved  is to allow the situation to get worse.

Since the expose three days ago, you will notice, in typical Australian political fashion, nothing has occurred except political point-scoring, name-calling and a demarcation dispute  between the Northern Territory Government,  Northern Territory Police and  the Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs.

Nothing of benefit will, in fact, occur as long as the law is not enforced equally for all, wherever and whenever it is broken,  and as long as political grandstanding takes the place of the true civic service our parliamentarians were elected to perform.
