You really have no idea what this is about, do you?

lol aboriginals get evrything they are treated like gods in our country i dont have abything agaisnt them i have heaps of aboringnal mates but they are treated very good in our country better then any other race

Shall I refer to a recent rape case against an aborigine girl, where the offenders got off because she "probably" agreed to it, despite being about 12?

Some policies in some places were going on until the 70s. Up to 100,000 children stolen from their parents, damn right they should apologise as should we as we were the colonial power for a decade or so of it.

An apology will never be enough but as Colin said, compensation for it won't happen.

Doesnt consent still is interpreted as rape if the girl in minor.

 

[Hooper]

Apology will do.

Aboriginals are so privileged over here it's not funny. LWKFella is only telling the truth tbh. They get so much benifets, opportunities, pay checks its not funny, yet they still complain. Im sick of it.

The apology isn't an apology if you get me. It's an official admittance of doing something wrong, and from a government even if it is representing previous government, that is an absolutely massive thing. Admittedly it won't do anything for the Aboriginies, but it is I imagine the way the government how to close the door shut on this and get on with things.

It's just something that has to be done for everyone to put it in the past and get on.

Statutory rape in England. If a girl is under 16 and she sleeps with a guy over 16. 16 being the age of consent. The parents have to press charges though, so it's up to them. Usually depends on the circumstances.

For what they've been through they should be treated better. Many could argue you are guests in their country.

Well the whole situation is a problem we started. Australia is an originally black country, struggling to come to terms that it is a white country for various reasons.

I think this ones same worldwide. So howcome a 12 year olds rape get away.

Justice doesn't get served in some countries, sometimes there isn't enough evidence etc. It's become a bit popular in this country for some underage girls to sleep with overage men and then take them to court when they split up. There's a big waryness around it.

So technically we should be apologising for being silly enough to dump all our scummiest people over there?

Very nice to say sorry, couldn't see the current German government apologising to all the jews though, unless they already have.

 

[Lwkfella1991]

yeh well if thats the case the english should apologize to the irish

You cant do much more then give them money, job oppurtunities, cheap food etc.

They have been given the best of everything yet still complain.

The white Aussies aren't guests, they came here and fought for the land.
