No Porn And Alcohol For Australias Aborignes

WONDER why the aborignes feel a need for porn and drink? Could it be because the white immigrants ruined their lives and Australia is a racist society?

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s leader has announced plans to ban pornography and alcohol for Aborigines in some areas, and to tighten control over their welfare benefits to fight what he called a child sex abuse crisis among them.

Prime Minister John Howard was responding to an officially commissioned report last week saying child abuse was rampant in indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, fueled by alcohol abuse, unemployment, poverty and other factors causing a breakdown in civil society.

“This is a national emergency,” Howard told Parliament Thursday. “We’re dealing with a group of young Australians for whom the concept of childhood innocence has never been present.”
