A 53-YEAR-OLD woman was assaulted in Leayner Tuesday after she ignored a man who asked for the time.

NT police are calling for witnesses to the alleged assault which took place shortly before 6am.

Casuarina station officer-in-charge, acting senior sergeant Tanya Mace said the woman was walking along the footpath outside the Hibiscus Shopping Centre when the alleged assault took place.

"A man approached her and asked for the time. She continued on her way, but shortly after heard footsteps and was grabbed from behind, around her waist and a hand placed over her mouth," she said.

The offender is described as being of indigenous appearance, aged in his 20s, about 175cm tall with medium length curly hair and a bandage on his left arm.

Top end community where women brawl in front of police has been let down by the (White man's) system

"THEY'RE not bad people, they've been abandoned and neglected."

That's what David Martin said about the people of a Far North Queensland community almost 10 years ago and it remains true now.

At the time, the township of Aurukun, home to approximately 1200 people, had shown Australia its darkest side. A 10-year-old girl had been gang raped by nine men in a case described as "the tip of the iceberg".

News over the years from the small, remote township on the western coast of the Cape York Peninsula has not been flattering.

A 2011 report declared Aurukun had one of the worst murder rates in the world. Last year alone there was the shocking death of a man who was run over as community members watched, there were shots fired at police, there was a hammer attack and there were riots.

In 2008, Aurukun signed up to a government-supported welfare reform project. Aurukun Mayor Dereck Walpo told the ABC this week ... "A lot of money has been spent in this community over the last eight years but where's it all gone?" he said. "I wish I knew." [more ...]

South Australia's top judge has slammed successive governments for ignoring spiralling indigenous incarceration rates for 25 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.

The Chief Justice said judges were often saddened at having to impose lengthy prison terms upon Aboriginal offenders who had endured impoverished and abusive backgrounds.



Why should there be one law for coons and different laws for others?

Note: In most Australian states, reduced sentencing laws for Aboriginal offenders means that an Indigenous Australian offender receives a mandatory reduced sentence, with the race of the victim being a non-issue.

Meanwhile, a White or European Australian offender in the same situation would receive maximum sentencing determined by 1. his own race (White Australian) and 2. on the race of the victim being other than White being justification for harsher sentencing.

The Australian Bar Association is right in stating that the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system has nothing to do with racial discrimination.

The belief that most Indigenous people are in jail because they have been unfairly targeted by police and arrested for relatively minor "social nuisance" offences is not true.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on prisoner characteristics shows that of the 9,885 indigenous prisoners in 2015, only 1,069 Indigenous prisoners were in jail for offences against justice procedures, such as non-payment of fines. Most (56 per cent) were in jail for serious crimes such as homicide, assault and sex offences.

... although many social justice advocates claim "the criminal laws and sentencing regulations unfairly target Indigenous people", if there is any discrimination it tends to be in favour of Indigenous people. Overall, Indigenous offenders receive shorter sentences than non-Indigenous offenders for most crimes.

Aboriginal sentencing punishes the victims
"Is Aboriginal offending somehow less serious, because, for some reason, Aboriginal offenders are not as culpable for their actions as others? Or are their victims somehow less in need of the system's albeit limited protections? Are their injuries and needs less deserving of serious attention and response?"

Black on Black Crime
Reduced sentencing discriminates against Aboriginal victims who have the right to sentencing that reflects the seriousness of the crime against them. It gives the wrong message that the courts regard violent offenders as the "victim" by reason of Aboriginality. It risks the threat of retribution on the part of the aggrieved victim's family, who may not feel that justice has been properly done.

Reminds me of a joke.

Why did they take coons off the IVF program?

A MAN1/2 caste boong has pleaded guilty to a string of six charges stemming from the vicious robbery and assault of three German backpackers in August last year.


Ashley Matz pleaded guilty to the late night robbery on the young backpackers, who were living out of a car on a vacant block in Rapid Creek.


Ashley Matz has pleaded guilty to six charges after three German backpackers were robbed and assaulted in 2015.

The court heard that Matz and a co-offender became involved in a stoush with the three Germans, which quickly escalated when the two men, who had been drinking, accused the Germans of being rapists and Nazis.

Matz pleaded guilty to stealing the backpackers' iPad, laptop and phones, as well as forcing them to withdraw thousands in cash from an ATM.

Matz and his co-offender then took off with the backpackers' Volvo and set it on fire.


All three of the victims suffered injuries because of the attack.

Aurukun teachers evacuated over safety fears, 'slow' police response probed



Related Story: Aurukun teachers evacuated due to violence in Indigenous community





Twenty-five teachers and staff are leaving Aurukun after the principal of Noel Pearson's Cape York Academy had his car stolen by a group of youths, one who was brandishing an axe.







Youths tried to break into the home of two teachers early on Sunday morning, when police did not respond immediately, the principal intervened, Education Queensland's regional director Deborah Dunstone said.

As the principal was getting into this car, he was approached by a group of teenagers, including one brandishing an axe, Ms Dunstone said.

"He chose to just hand over the car to the youths," she said.

"There was certainly a scuffle and he has some minor bruising.

"The principal [went] above and beyond the call of duty."

Nine teachers were flown out of Aurukun last night and 16 are leaving today, agreeing to return in a week once their safety concerns are addressed.

Investigation ordered into police response

Independent MP Billy Gordon, whose electorate includes Aurukun, said he had been told by Queensland Teachers Union (QTU) that staff were concerned that police took too long to respond.

"That they were preoccupied with other matters in the community, which is understandable when there is an influx of sly grog into the community that opens up a can of worms," he said.





Six people have been charged over the incident, with four remanded in custody.

Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said extra officers had been sent to Aurukun.

An investigation has also been launched into the police response.

"I'm not saying police didn't respond," Mr Stewart said.

"I'm saying I'm having the facts of what occurred that night checked by our senior officers."

There are eight permanent officers in Aurukun and five more have been dispatched to stay in the community for as long as they need.

Treasurer Curtis Pitt said unrest had spiked in the past six months.

"It is not uncommon to see this unrest," he said. "We want to see that this community calms down, settles.

"Investing more money is not always the answer. We have to find what the local community wants."

Long history of violence in disadvantaged community

Aurukun struggles with entrenched disadvantage, violence, sexual abuse and other problems.

There have been improvements in Aurukun School's attendance and results since its partnership with Noel Pearson's Cape York Academy.





Aurukun Council's chief executive Bernie McCarthy said CCTV cameras would be installed tomorrow and a community radio program would start next month.

"We just want to reinforce messages through local language," he said.

"You know, good feel about the people, what they should be doing for their community, how they can be engaged in work activities, how they can have better health, how they should look after their countrymen, that's the type of message we'd be sending out."

A community meeting is expected to be called on Friday.

The school will remain closed for a week, and is expected to reopen on Thursday next week.
