Australian police charge two people with murder of India-born businessman

[bianco]

Australian police would beat KKK hands down when it comes to racism. You are ignoring the context in which that cartoon was published. That cartoon was published after series of Indian students were killed in Australia and Australian government did not do anything. They just basically shrugged it off saying that since the murders were committed by 'middle easterners', there was no further need for Australians to do anything about it. Not only that, they traded racist emails among themselves to show their insensitivity towards murdered victims.

Your philosophy is to blame the victim. My philosophy is to blame the criminal. This is where we differ.

I have never heard of any Australian getting killed in India except in one or two rare cases. But the thing is Indian police does its best to arrest the criminal when it happens instead of trading racist jokes via email about victims.

India is a third world country. Australia is a rich country. For you to even attempt to use India as an excuse for shortcomings of Australia is appalling.

One more last thing, no race including Indians deserve to be murdered just because they talk funny or you do not like their food or the way they celebrate victory of their cricket team. I just hope for the sake of the humanity that Australians would learn this basic fact.

Beat the KKK hands down?
That's a joke, right?

The Australian govt left the investigating of the deaths and bashings to the police.
Some police exchanged racist emails.
Some police also persecute gay police officers.
Cops follow the cricket too.
No Indian students were murdered by Middle Eastern men in Sydney, they were 'just' beaten up.
The Middle Eastern thugs used to intimidate elderly White women [basically the only Whites left there] as well in that same area...Harris Park.
What did the cops do about it?
'Nothing'.

They weren't celebrating victory of their cricket team, they were being totally abusive and racist.
They tried the same thing on on Australian soil in a tour after that.
Did racist 'monkey rolls' on the field when they'd get Andrew Symonds out.
Harbhijan Singh the main offender.
They were hauled before the ICC tribunal and he was suspended.
They erupted in outrage, threatened to cancel their tour.
Most people said "good, go home, who cares".

No Indians deserve to be murdered, bashed, or discriminated against in Australia.
But, the way they carry on in the cricket, and the way they are taking our jobs, surely you don't really expect anyone much to like them.
So if no one much likes them, then there is going to be a certain proportion of the population that dislikes them enough to discriminate against them and attack them.
In the low socio-economic 'high crime areas' in which they live and travel alone to and from study and work...the thugs will and do attack anyone and everyone they can get their hands on, including Indians.

The police do a good job catching murderers and thugs in Australia...but usually gathering enough evidence to put before the courts to gain a conviction takes time.

MELBOURNE: A 15-year-old Australian boy was on Thursday charged with the murder of Indian student Nitin Garg , with the police saying there was no racial motive in the killing, which had sent shock waves back home.

MELBOURNE: In another attack on Indians in Australia, a 24-year old student from the community was severely beaten up in western Sydney. Police claim the assault was not racially motivated. The violent attack on the Indian student took place on the night of April 28, the 'Sydney Morning Herald' reported without identifying the victim. He was repeatedly hit and kicked by unidentified assailants but local police said the attack was not racially motivated, according to the report.

Australian cricketers' racist behavior is not a secret. Both Sunil Gavaskar and Vivian Richards have written articles on it. Australian cricketers have been caught hitting, spitting and using obscene profanity against other cricketers on camera. Indian cricketers just do not want to put up with this and they have every right to because it is Indian money which pretty much finances ICC. Indians are not the only ones who have filed complaint against Australian cricketers. The list includes Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies and even South Africa.

The focus of this thread is human rights violation and violence in general against colored folks in Australia. So let us get back on topic.

In Australia, Aboriginal Women Are 80 Times More Likely to Experience Violence


An article published by Perth News on Monday explains that Aboriginal women in Australia are 80 times more likely to be physically and sexually assaulted than non-indigenous Australians. Not twice as likely, or 10 times as likely — but 80 times more likely. At this point, given what we know about the epidemic of violence against women, and especially minority women and women of color, in developing and developed countries, we can be shocked and horrified, but not all together surprised.

This incredible number cited in Perth News is based on recent statistics from the Northern Territory’s (NT) five major government hospitals, where both indigenous and non-indigenous women were admitted for assault. For every thousand non-indigenous women, 0.3 were hospitalized, whereas for every thousand indigenous, 24.1 women were hospitalized for assault (in other words: 80 times more).As the NT’s Children’s Commissioner, Dr Howard Bath, says, “What we are looking at is a disastrous situation in terms of the risk of violence to indigenous women. These numbers are mind-boggling. The rate of abuse of these women is enormously high and children are being exposed to this, resulting in very, very high rates of child neglect."

The perpetrators of this violence are largely Aboriginal men, and “to a lesser extent Aboriginal women and non-indigenous men.”

Dr. Bath cited alcohol, drug abuse, overcrowding and unemployment as the lead drivers of this violence, emphasizing the former most of all.

A NT Member of Parliament, Bess Price, who has lost two of her female family members to domestic violence, maintains that other Australians know of this phenomenon, but are either hesitant to speak up, or outright hostile to those who do. In fact, she herself experienced threats and harassment when she raised the issue.

Truth is, this violence has been going on for decades, with arguably little change. In an essay entitled, “Representing Aboriginal Women: Who Speaks for Whom?” published in 1994, the author writes “The violence to which Aboriginal women are subjected has reached epidemic proportions, and it has been argued that it constitutes a continuing violation of human rights.” That was 20 years ago.

Those interviewed for the recent Perth News piece point out that Australians were outraged over the much-politicized rapes in India earlier this year, with people writing in to their government demanding action. And yet, there seems to be little call for action to address a very in-house epidemic of violence of their very own.

It may at this point be worth very briefly revisiting the historical legacy of violence amongst Aboriginal populations. According to the Women’s Policy Coordinator of the Office of Aboriginal Affairs, prior to the arrival of Europeans in Australia “ all Aboriginal people were treated equally; they had different roles but all had equal importance and contributed in significant ways to day to day needs and the development of society.” In addition, while all Aborigines experienced violence at the hands of the colonizers, women in particular experienced “high levels of sexual abuse” by the Europeans.

This brief revisiting is simply to place this contemporary violence in its’ complete historical context — and to discourage any misguided attempts to blame “culture” or “tradition” for the use of violence. It also fills out a story that is not unique to Australia, but one we have seen played out amongst other indigenous, minority and previously colonized populations. Right here in the United States we know that rates of abuse of Native American women are amongst the highest of any group — and are often attributed to substance abuse and unemployment.

African American women have been trying to bring our attention to the alarming rates of sexual assault within their communities: Black Women’s Blueprint is an organization that recently launched a “Truth Commission” to investigate sexual assault against black women. According to their website, while the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) found that 18% of black women experience rape in their lifetime, the Black Women’s Blueprint found 60% of black girls experience sexual abuse before they are 18, and “the Black Women’s Health Imperative released a report estimating 40% of black women are sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.”

These are shocking and completely unacceptable numbers, whether you are in Australia, or the United States. And this has been going on, without adequate uproar, for far too long. Why is it that we in “developed” countries can collectively gasp in horror at what happened in India, as Americans and Australians did alike, and yet we turn a blind or apathetic eye to what is happening in our own countries?

Violence against women isn’t something happening “over there.” It's happening right here, and its happening all of the time.

She also criticised an "intervention" policy introduced by the former conservative government and continued by Ms Gillard, which places controls on welfare spending for Aborigines to help fight alcohol and child sex abuse in remote outback areas.

"In my discussions with Aboriginal people, I could sense the deep hurt and pain that they have suffered because of government policies that are imposed on them," she said.

Australia's 460,000 Aborigines make up about 2 per cent of the population. They suffer higher rates of unemployment, substance abuse and domestic violence than other Australians, as well as having a 17-year gap in life expectancy.

#####

There are 'no' jobs in the cities, let alone in remote rural areas/rural areas.
Who is doing the substance abuse and domestic violence?

Try and quarantine some of the welfare payments for food etc and not alcohol and drugs...the UN screams "Racist".

Most Aboriginal people have jobs...the unemployment rate might be higher for Aboriginal people overall, but most Aboriginal people [varying from almost 'White' to totally 'Black', many 'Obamas' there are] are employed.

Only recently was the "Close the Gap" round of major footy.

2013 NRL Previews - Round 23 (Close The Gap Round)


A wonderful NRL initiative and the most inspiring event on the NRL calendar, Close the Gap Round not only highlights the issue around life expectancy rates amongst Indigenous Australians, but helps create cultural awareness. This weekend's purpose is best summed up by a quote from the Oxfam website;

Dally M Winner, Inaugural captain of the Indigenous All Stars, Ken Stephen medal winner and NRL Premiership Winner, Preston Campbell, on the impact of the gap in life expectancy, “For me, it’s been a huge impact and I only have to go back home to Tingha to see that. There’s huge issues with diabetes and heart problems in my community.”

NRL help Close the Gap - NRL.com

Indigenous-inspired jerseys, mentoring, leadership, cultural awareness sessions and Indigenous performances are among the NRL Club initiatives in the Close the Gap Round that highlights Indigenous heritage and which players hope will inspire Rugby League fans to pledge to support reducing the life expectancy gap of more than a decade between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Greg Inglis are among the NRL stars urging fans to sign the pledge to ‘close the gap’.

Rugby League was the first sporting code in Australia to join the Close the Gap campaign with an inaugural Close the Gap Round in 2009 and this year’s game-wide activities will again highlight the importance of working to improve Indigenous health, life expectancy and education and employment opportunities.

“The All Stars and health and education programs we have across the game have helped change people’s lives but the life expectancy gap is one issue we have to keep tackling,” Cowboys and Indigenous All Stars captain Johnathan Thurston said.

Australian, Maroons and Melbourne captain Cameron Smith said: “As a parent, it’s heart-breaking to know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander babies have more than double the chance of dying before the age of one,” Smith said.

^ Your sense of logic makes me want to shake my head.

Try following:

- Give native Australians equal opportunity in education and employment
- Give them adequate representation in Australian governance

There are lots of thing you could do before resorting to human rights violation. I have seen documentaries on condition of native Australians. It is horrible. It seems like alcohol and drugs is all they have access to.

A THIRD Labor adviser in South Australia has been implicated in a school sex-abuse cover-up at the centre of a royal commission, with emails showing the senior staffer was told about the case a month before her minister claimed to have been briefed.

Kate Baldock, a media adviser to former education minister Grace Portolesi demoted in January as the cover-up scandal deepened, refused yesterday to answer questions about her role in the affair.

Ms Baldock also declined to say whether she had told anyone in government of the rape of a seven-year-old girl in December 2010 by a pedophile school services officer.

A government spokesman said Ms Baldock was not called to give evidence to the royal commission.

Among the commission's findings were that Premier Jay Weatherill's chief of staff, Simon Blewett, and child protection adviser Jadynne Harvey were told of the incident by the Education Department, in an email alert labelled "the gravest importance" and failed to inform the Premier, when they had an obligation to do so as it "related to the safety and welfare of children".

It might seem that way, but...it's complicated;

Firstly...in 1967 there was a referendum, passed 90% [by White people] to make Indigenous people equal, and no longer "Flora and Fauna" and discriminated against.

Change takes time.
Land was then returned to Aboriginal Land Councils nationwide [can't be having cities and towns and homes that citizens have paid for though].
...if tribes could prove a claim that they had 'spiritual links to the land'.

Then, there was gazetted that the Aboriginal nation would have its own flag.
"Two races, two nations, two flags", basically.

Then the Aboriginal nation wanted self-determination...granted.
ATSIC was set up to oversee it all.
It was a dismal failure...a big waste of 15 years.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) (1990–2005) was the Australian Government body through which Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders were formally involved in the processes of government affecting their lives. A number of indigenous programs and organisations fell under the overall umbrella of ATSIC.

The agency was dismantled in 2004 in the aftermath of corruption allegations and litigation.[1] ATSIC was criticised for being dominated by males.[2]

Destroyed in Alice


Alice Springs is in deeper trouble than is widely understood. For many locals, driven to despair by the township's drug and alcohol-fuelled violence, the only way is out
IT'S 10pm, the witching hour in the heart of Alice Springs, the time when trouble really starts. KFC has closed its doors, the lights from the 24-hour shop over the crossroads gleam, the cars cruise by with menace, the crowds of bush Aboriginal boys and girls, teenagers and younger, grow thick.

There they are, in the deep shadows of back alleys, parks and vacant blocks, mobiles shining in their hands as they plan their moves, and dodge and weave between the security patrols, the little ineffectual posses of youth workers from different agencies and the police vans drifting up and down the streets.

Here's the action, at the streetlights where Stott and Todd meet: the pick-up point for grog, ganja, adventure, sex and any combination of all these.

What can you see here -- for it is a theatre of a kind, where the tragicomedy of Aboriginal Central Australia is played out each night before the helpless eyes of the authorities?

You can see boys and girls as young as 10 years old marauding about at midnight, with their slightly older brothers and sisters, who are walking at speed, drinking from their hidden alcohol containers: you see cars laden with illegal grog stopping to pick up teenage girls and whisk them off; here's the madam, with her girls for sale, and that's one of the African gang cars, driving by and checking out the talent, and choosing the girls they like.

At the KFC carpark, as if in the front-row stalls, old bush men from the desert communities pull up: "Just looking," they say, and grin, and mingle. Things are tense: a security car pulls into a building site. Seventy teenagers, some with their knife-blades open, converge on the lone guard: he flees.

Police drive slow: "Go home," they call out, "Don't you have a home to go to?", but the crowds just laugh, and melt away and reform in the shadows down the block.

A white minivan screeched to a halt at this corner last week: four white youths jumped out, pummelled a group of bush blacks with punches, and hurtled off into the night.

The desert boys wait at the traffic lights: if an incautious couple of backpackers are dumb enough to walk that way, it's harassment, menace, taunts and chase.

etc

Afro-Asian bloc rejects John Howard's bid for ICC presidency


Six of the 10 major cricket nations signed a letter opposing Howard as a candidate while a seventh, Zimbabwe, did not sign but is one of the main agitators against him.

Howard's only supporters were the three white nations: Australia, New Zealand and England, reinforcing the power of the Afro-Asia bloc in world cricket.

Under a rotational five-region electoral process, Howard was the joint candidate from Australia and New Zealand and should have been rubber stamped as the next ICC vice-president months ago.

Yes, the Afro-Asian bloc chose to side with Zimbabwe!

They made their bed.
Australia should've immediately crossed all the cricketing nations except NZ and England off their Christmas card list, cut the phones off, and cancelled all future tours involving them...both in their nations and in Australia.
Cut them loose...never to be spoken with again involving anything 'cricket'.
