Does the Australian White Leftist Feminists Brigade Care about Violence Against Aboriginal Women? By Mrs Vera West
No, and there are plenty of articles to prove this; the silence, otherwise, is deafening. The Left has their agenda, and now the Indigenous Voice is their thing. Well, there is climate change too, but the issues will come together. So much for “voices.” It is more the sound of silence.
“Conservative broadcaster Alan Jones was shut down on the ABC's Q&A program when he raised the issue of violence against Aboriginal women.
Jones, who was Sydney's breakfast radio king for more than three decades, noted Indigenous Northern Territory Country Liberals senator Jacinta Price's campaign to highlight the high rates of domestic violence in remote Aboriginal communities.
'What do you do about the violence, the appalling violence towards women in the Northern Territory? No action's been taken it,' he said.
Jones now hosts an online show on ADH TV after 2GB took him off the air in 2020 following a series of controversies.
He used his Thursday night guest appearance on the left-leaning ABC panel show to suggest Senator Price's accounts of domestic violence were ignored.
'Jacinta Price came to Canberra last year with horrific revelations about what was going on in the Northern Territory,' he said.
'No one, no one has opened their mouth to support her and nothing has been done.'
Federal Labor cabinet minister Ed Husic, Australia's first Muslim MP, interrupted.
'Alan, violence against women cuts across all colours,' he said.
Jones then asked Ben Abbatangelo, an Indigenous writer and a former Melbourne Stars Twenty20 Big Bash League cricket player for a response.
When he stayed silent Q&A host Stan Grant, who is also Indigenous, shut down the discussion, and apologised to Indigenous audience member Deidre Trewhella, who had asked about 'hostility towards first nations people' as someone who 'survived my family being torn apart by government legislation'.
'Can I just say, we're having this conversation in front of an Aboriginal woman who has brought this question to us,' Grant said.
'Deirdre, I can hear the distress in your voice even bringing the question.
'I want to just say, can we just leave that where it sits right now?
“According to Antoinette Braybrook, the Kuku Yalanji CEO of Djirra, an Indigenous-run organisation that helps women dealing with domestic violence, Indigenous women are 32 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of family violence. According to Better Health, Indigenous women are 5 times more likely to die from homicide than non-Indigenous women.
When Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women seek help from authorities, they are often met with negligence or further violence. Munanjahli-Yugambeh-South Sea Islander scholar Chelsea Watego draws attention to a multitude of examples where authorities have failed Indigenous women or further subjected them to violence.
It is terrible stuff, largely ignored by liberal white feminists.
