@Brayster_@OddemocracyA@whatwouldiknow1 @TerriJuneODonn1 @GSmithWA @steveirons@robynlesley3 @clairegcoleman Regardless, the fact remains Indig youth do commit real crimes & are not penalized to the degree a white person would be, not in Townsville at least. Is this justice or kindness? No.
@Brayster_@OddemocracyA@whatwouldiknow1 @TerriJuneODonn1 @GSmithWA @steveirons@robynlesley3 @clairegcoleman How about ideas on how to stop the incredibly high rates of crime by Indigenous youth? Blaming colonisation, etc is not good enough, many countries were colonised in the past including my birth country. Perhaps introduce Indigenous history in schools, give back a sense of pride?
@MuslimIQ "Go back to where you come from" says the European. 😕 Proud and gleefully irrational and mean-spirited. The conservative mind is a prison of fear. It's annoying but quite sad to see.

I’ve spent the morning explaining to my 2yo, Elke, that not all the presents are hers. I think she’s finally got it. At the end of a long year, I hope you’re also getting to spend some time with the people that matter to you. Merry Xmas and see you in the new year!

Australia's change of policy on Israel likely to be short-lived

@GeorgeNewhouse@ici_cam Can we have more youth detention centres in Townsville please? Nightly break ins and car thefts - obviously however this is being addressed isnt working. Youth are locked up because they commit crime, they’re not angels. Not punishing them just increases the crime rate.
Dear Indian Muslims, As a peace-loving Hindu, on this #6December I seek your forgiveness for #BabriMasjidDemolition. I stand by the Indian constitution that gives equal rights to all castes and religions, and I will fight till my death anyone trying to break us apart.
The question for Nick Cave is: Would you have decried as 'cowardly and shameful' any criticism of musicians who played apartheid South Africa? If not, then you are simply projecting https://t.co/ZYK6k38WZo
