Aboriginal child abuse and the NT Intervention

You mean you can't find any. Surprising isn't it, how all the page long rants don't substitute for evidence?

On the off chance she is being in anyway sincere the main indicator being used is life expectancy and that will take more than 3 years just to evaluate. Does it suprise you that there ARE key performance indicators in this?

There are other social indicators which are of shorter duration

e.g.

rate of unemployment : can be assessed within one year of job creation

malnutrition in young children: developmental milestones are reached between six months to two years in children under 7 and within 3 years in children under 10 [except for height if bone length is permanently affected and mental acuity if neurological development is permanently affected]

psychological indicators of wellness, these are generic follow up tests conducted on abused children to assess their healing; there are also physical tests undertaken if the children have suffered physical abuse.

poverty: three years is sufficient time to determine, IMO, if the trend is moving towards self reliance and away from welfare, but maybe we could suspend that for the period of a decade.

other indicators are educational progress [enrollment/attendance/rate of pass/fail], suicide rates, teenage pregnancies, alcoholism, substance abuse rates, mental health indicators and yes life expectancy.

Most government interventions require either annual reports of follow up for budgetary considerations [this is my experience with stuff like government grants and working in government run health centers] or at least some plan of follow up and progress checks to ensure the smooth flow of money from/into various departments

So what is the information available on the progress of the NT intervention

Surprising, isn't it, how easy it is to ignore the realities of a difficult situation and just quote stats?

Everything you've been told, everything you should know if you actually cared... and all you want is evidence that a western government failed to accomplish something it set out to do. Gives you pleasure, doesn't it.

You're a pitiful creature, SAM.

 

However. Seeing as you asked so nicely.
Guess which racial group currently has the highest rate of population increase in the NT?

Go on. Guess.

 

Let me guess, which population groups worldwide have the highest rate of population increase

a. those at war
b. those under occupation
c. those under oppressive regimes
d. those who are least educated
e. those who have the lowest life expectancies
f. those with the poorest socio-economic indices
g. all of the above

so, which door should I open milord?

 

That's strange. Copts in Egypt fit into at least two of those categories, but they don't experience any population increase.

I wonder why that would be.

 

Good point, think hard why they don't have higher birth rates like all those oppressed peoples

 

Because they can afford cable TV..

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Let's have a clear answer from you, instead. Then I can laugh at it.

 

You know we have exactly all the same problems with Dalits as you have with the Aboriginals. I think your problems are exacerbated more because of the remoteness and also because of the persistence of separatedness between the aboriginals and non-aboriginals.

Now I'll only be repeating myself [again] if I reiterate what I have said before. But I think you need to have a kind of Aboriginal task force which consists of educated aboriginals who the remote aboriginals can relate to and let them organise the education and development of the people. I'm not sure how that will be possible, the conditions are so bad already, but dalit educators in India have worked miracles with the dalit children and their model has been successful in motivating the children as well as their parents many of whom are illiterate bonded labourers with similar issues of alcoholism and domestic abuse.

Maybe they could be sent to India for training - I don't know. But what is currently going on there, its not working.

 

LOL, as if you had some credibility when it comes to demands for "content." :]

..vomited with gusto on to this thread in order to maintain the ongoing plunder and genocide of the aboriginal people and their land

however due to the tireless efforts of aboriginal activists, sam, other members and orgs of the world community, the "race traitors" in australia, we have forced the racist and genocidal govt to the table

yet, the racists on this board disingenuously maintain the pretext and justifications offered up by the genocidal australian govt for interventions as valid despite massive evidence to the contrary

lets again, hear from the "communist", Alastair Bothwick Nicholson, about these bogus justifications that make the pretext for the nt intervention an utter sham

Now last year we launched report, in fact in this room, by Prof Larissa Behrendt and others, which made it very clear that that consultation was not a consultation at all. It was a sham and it was a dishonest piece of spin and there is no doubt that that remains the case. The minister first of all said that the evidence that we had only related to four communities, but she didn’t produce any evidence of what happened in other communities. She then went on to say that there had been 500 consultations with individuals. No records were ever produced of what took place in those consultations or between whom. For all the value of that is concerned, they might as well have gone down the pub and asked a few people down there about what is happening and claimed that as consultation, or held a street poll. It really is not evidence of any consultation at all. Now the government has said in this legislation, this very legislation where it reintroduces the RDA that these are special measures for the Aboriginal people, that have been consented to by the Aboriginal people, so therefore they won’t offend the new legislation they will not offend the RDA when it is introduced. That to me is a piece of absolute dishonesty. ​

the special rapporteur's take on these bogus "consultations"

further fucking more, where are the indictments?

Aboriginal leaders have questioned the motives behind the NT intervention policy after the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) failed to find evidence of organised pedophile rings — a key motivation of the policy produced by then-Aboriginal affairs minister Mal Brough in 2007.

The intervention imposed heavy restrictions on alcohol, welfare spending and pornography and was justified by alleged sexual abuse against children in remote Aboriginal communities.

However, few if any charges have been laid against alleged pedophiles, and the ACC told the July 5 Sydney Morning Herald that there was no evidence to support the existence of organised pedophile groups.​

 

Well its good to see that activism is alive and effective.

 

i have a very simple formula
if you agree with me, you are for freedom and self determination
if however you take issue with my pronouncements, you are for rape, dispossession and genocide

really really simple

/cackle

 

I think most labels have lost their meanings and become essentially irrelevant. It would have pissed me off no end being called names four years ago, but now I just see it as an inability to face difficult issues when ad homs start replacing arguments. I just zoom in on the facts now, to see if any evidence has been presented. Everything else is just noise.

 

yup
i just ignore the troll james now
still tho, labels are eminently useful for the lulz
