Dunno what their nationality has to do with anything. Its a sad story regardless of nationality. 3 young boys died. Yes they shouldn't have been there but 3 children died. Its still sad. But from the way Aboriginal people are often victimised in the media i wouldn't be suprised if they're leaving something out. Or there is more to the story. The media isn't always trustworthy. They sensationalise and exaggerate to make it more interesting. In no way am i justifying people's bad behaviour but i wouldn't believe everything i read in the papers. Especially when it about Aboriginal people. And i know that by experience.
mz81vs, I dont know of any 10 year old caucasian children that would swear at a police officer and then walk along the train tracks to pick up rocks and throw at passing trains. 15 year old caucasians possibly. But not 3 10 year olds.
Im half aboriginal, I have an aboriginal girlfriend and I grew up with a lot of aboriginal kids. The article described the attitude of some of the less desirable members of the aboriginal race quite well, and I personally know many aboriginal kids who have exactly this sort of attitude towards the "monarch" as well.
Also, no. By NO MEANS WHATSOEVER is the media based against aboriginals. Quite the other way around infact. Correct me if im wrong, but are you aboriginal and trying to say the media has victimised you in the past? You sound like you come from one of those typical mobs who claim every white fella is out to get them. Because I can certainly say the only elements of black culture that the media has anything bad to say about, are the ones that deserve it, and even then the media is quite careful in what they say because of people like you standing up and playing the race card with the victim card. I applaud the article for not being too scared to actually report the fact that they were aboriginal, like I see all too often.
