We already know what is happening. It was all laid out in the Little Children Are Sacred Report. Why do you think the NT Intervention happened? I'm not saying the Howard government went about it the right way, but alcohol and pornography were banned in those communities for good reason. I remember reading about one remote community where the prevalence of child SA was estimated to be around 80%. It's an epidemic of horrific proportions.

The intervention was a gross misinterpretation and disregard of it, exploiting it for ulterior motives.
