Society & Culture The Jessie Wilson case

[Daytripper]

Meh, is anyone surprised?

Our culture is balanced in favour of the anglo-saxon Australian. Be attractive, and you'll be even more liked... live in Australia's most cultural city? Even more so.

An unattractive, Aboriginal woman living arguably the most stigmatised state in Australia? Yeah. Good luck with the airtime.

This is just a 21st century case of race relations that's just... as old as humanity. The white, mainstream Australian still places more importance on white people (unless it's an Aboriginal or Asylum Seeker living up to their unfortunate stereotypes). I don't know how any functioning Australian over the age of 10 is surprised by any of this.

This has been explained already by some of the indigenous posters on this site.

It is strictly against Aboriginal cultural beliefs to even speak of a deceased indigenous person for a certain period of time let alone put that persons name and photo in the paper.

Or are you advocating throwing centuries old Aboriginal tradition out the window ?

How often do some of you need this explained ?

Well there goes any help in solving missing Indigenous people, presumed dead, cases.

Makes you wonder if cases like this one would be solved much quicker if the police applied the same scorched earth policy like the JM one, maybe they don't have a lot to go on yet either, i'm sure they are doing the best they can, but any evidence they have which can be contributed to the public would help.
BTW what happened to the crime forum, I thought it was a fait accompli after the AFL GF?
