Aborigine child rape outrage!

Well, it's a start.
Just hope the 9 will get theirs and the girl the help she needs. Plus stiffer laws that allow aborigine people the same equal rights afforded to the whites and other races, under Australian Law. After all... they were there first!

Unfortunatily, this is the kind of stuff that can happen when the laws don't protect the rights of the individual. When laws are arranged to protect a "collective good" rather then individual rights, and when personal responsibility is ignored in favor of making crimes a societal responsibility in a legal system, this is what you sometimes get. I say this time and time again, but people don't seem to understand it. Ah well...

It is very sad. I really feel horrible for the young girl.

The problem isn't that the Aboriginal people don't have equal status under the law, they do, its that places like Arakun are so far from everywhere else that there is a real difficulty in policing those laws. Very few indigenous people want to take on the role for some reason, so the result is a small force that is required to police maybe twenty or so communities spread over an area the size of Texas. Its appalling and there is currently no incentive for going into this area of law enforcement.
