Australia bans booze, porn to save Aboriginal children

Quote: “Howard said he was taking control of indigenous communities”

As a friend of mine said… “well, what an idea.”

How is it out of a sudden the government started to care for indigenous communities? Why did they picked just one thing and continue to totally ignore the rest? If the government so cares about them, how about spending some money on education and health? Again, the history repeats itself.

Then, thinking in practical terms, if the community is against this new law, how is it going to work? Police arrives at a remote community. The officers say to the elders, “Ok.. bring us a list of kids who were sexually abused. We’re going to take them away.” Or, “Bring all your porn magazines here”. As if.

The idea may sound good on air but it’s totally useless in practical terms.
