What we consider business-as-usual

For the rest of us Dummies, if we don't obey the law, expect a size 12 up the bum from some burly coppers and into the Paddy wagon you go, the last thing you hear being, suspensions a bit loose, pulls a bit to the right, heard there are some new speed bumps at..

MEMBERS of one of Australia's most troubled Aboriginal communities have rejected demands they send their children to school and clean up their homes, complaining the top public servant sent to deliver the ultimatum was a "bully".

See, the product of having different rules for different people in the same country, noble savage anyone?

Office of Indigenous Policy Co-ordination secretary Wayne Gibbons went to the Northern Territory community of Wadeye to tell the elders they had a month to fix their homes and ensure children attended daily lessons.

For the rest of us that is the norm.

The elders said Mr Gibbons told them there would be no more money for housing and infrastructure until the houses were fixed up. They also claimed he told them "gang members" must do the work to fix houses.

Who can blame him, I mean these 'gang' members are always very enthusiastic when they burn and plunder, lets see some of that same enthusiasm when it comes to rebuilding. As a side benefit, anyone with a bit of common sense would tell you, the gangs might not be that quick to burn and plunder next time knowing they'll have to rebuild it all again afterwards.

"We will not be meeting the deadline as demanded by Mr Gibbons," they wrote to Mr Brough. They also demanded a meeting with him in Canberra. But Mr Brough last night said Mr Gibbons delivered the message he was asked to give, and backed his approach.

Oh really, I'm no clairvoyant, but I'm predicting that there will be many delays in dole and/or booze money making its way to Wadeye.

"We don't expect them to do any structural work but we expect the houses to have the graffiti removed, and the roofs to have rocks taken off," he said. "We'll provide the paint and material. We also expect children to attend school, and not just occasionally. And they found that to be totally unreasonable. They have to realise that the situation has changed. I'm happy to meet with them back there and deliver the message again."

I'll also predict there will be a lot of kicking and temper tantrums, accusations of racism, discrimination, stolen generation, Islamophobia ... whoops wrong minority, but hang in there Mal Brough. The leftys and social engineers might whine a bit and sob, give em' a few weeks to sober up and soon they'll figure out a way to clean up their acts and join the rest of us here in reality.

And if the elders need any more encouragement, the law is also done with the free passes, again denied to us and should rightly be denied to all.

TWO Aborigines who sexually abused a seven-month-old baby and a two-year-old girl have had their sentences almost doubled.

I guess they should be punished even more, but this is better than nothing.

Update

Just listened to NSW Education Minister, Carmel Tebutt, being interviewed on 2GB on this very matter.

Oh the children will be punished, we need other options, oh I don't want to be mean, we don't want the children to suffer by with holding welfare payments from the parents, we have to reward them for coming to school.

For Godsakes you fool, that's what got them in the current situation in the first place, the parents don't care about the kids, otherwise we wouldn't have to strong arm them into looking after the kids, can someone point the woman to a glass door, maybe she can walk into it a few times.
