Thread: Warakurna, W.A.'s first indigenous run police station

Here is an example of a modern aboriginal woman who refuses to use the maltreatment of the past as an excuse for anything, but prefers to try to use it as a platform for reconciliation.

For decades Aussie families camped at 'Tent land', unaware of what lay beneath them.

And here are some women , perhaps the most disadvantaged in Australia, doing something about it.

‘We’re real women and we want to live in peace’

there has been 5 stolen and burnt cars this week in Newman.
is that their reconciliation?

Even with tongue in cheek,you asked...

The term reconciliation is bandied about wily nilly with little thought.

The real question is: When did the conciliation occur in the first place, that are you looking to reconcile?

...The answer to your question is actually in the answer to this bigger question. But most want to numb it all down to a little answer that’s more about themselves, their ignorance and their fears, than about the bigger picture.

There are kids stealing and burning cars all over the world all the time, it has nothing to do with their ethnicity. The big answer begins with stopping the ignorant and provocative stereotyping. What are the circumstances that led to a kid stealing and burning a car? ...the failings and inequity of growth capitalist materialism and greed perhaps? Who is perpetuating this? Could this be the cause?

What is causing this is the fact that these kids get away with this sort of thing Scott free time and time again and their parents can't or won't do anything about it and the coppers pretty much have their hands tied.
Just because someone isnt well off doesn't give them the right to steal and destroy someone else's property.

Sure, but that’s not the cause, it’s a symptom.
