Equally shocking me, it disgusts me that people are living like that, anywhere in the world. I feel sympathy for anyone in that situation.
But don't bother trying to shock me with photos like that, I worked in places like Alice Springs, Hermannsburg Mission, west of the Alice, Pine Creek and Hayes Creek in the NT and all through the Kimberleys, Cape York in QLD and saw a lot worse than that. Does not mean I condone it.
But let's not get the two photos above mixed up, the person on the mattress was probably drunk while most of the people in the top photo had been shot dead.

Especially as they are visiting people in hospital www.doricgroup.com.au/images/gallerys/Broome_Health_Service/BHS%209.jpgwhere they are treated free as is every Australian and have a hostel available to stay in www.yacwa.org.au/pling/service/aboriginal-hostels-limited-broome/but would have to comply with some rules. |

What are the increased chances that the would be rapist would murder his victim upon finding his manhood so encumbered? I really think this hasn't been thought through.

^^ I will never understand why people choose to live like that, similar to white people who don't have to live on the street, but do.
I first went to Broome in 1979, my gf and I were doing a trip around Australia, one year and one day. We were a bit wary of the "locals" there, some of them got a bit carried away when they were liquored up. Saw a lot of violence in the month we were there. Wild little town in those days.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood you. I have a friend, and aboriginal person whose daughter is currently doing a PHD at Oxford who constantly shows me photos like that and says it is all the doing of the whites. It is not. I deplore racism but I should not have to accept this when it is their own doing. There are many fine aboriginal people, and I am not meaning only ones that have fully adopted or agree with white ways, I have had many friendy arguments with people like Denis Walker of Stradbroke Island and others of his generation. I have supported him in some of his actions and not in others, I think and hope we remain friends though I have not seen him for a long time. No one could call he and others like him people walking the whiteman's land. |

I have made lots of Aboriginal friends over the years and can see both sides of the argument. Some of them, the ones who work hard and buy their own homes and cars etc. like the guys I worked with in the Kimberleys, driving trucks and operating earthmoving gear, can be the biggest critics of their own people.
I remember driving into Derby one day with an Aboriginal mate who used to run the construction crew. There were a dozen or so black fellas sitting under a big boab tree drinking grog.
Mate said - "Look at those lazy black cuntz" ! I could not believe he said that and when I quizzed him he said it angered him that he got up at 5.00am every morning and went to work and others just got p**sed all day.
I have never been critical of them, don't know what it's like to be in their shoes and would not like to find out.
