Aboriginal children in Victoria have reported being racially abused and physically and sexually assaulted by police, a landmark inquiry finds.

A boy the commission called "Tooran" told of his sister "Wawal" who struggled at school and began taking drugs at the age of 15.

With relatives already in the criminal justice system, he said he was known to police and unnecessarily labelled as a criminal from a young age. Mr Mohamed said a holistic approach was needed to better connect at-risk children with support services from the start, whilst addressing other aspects of their lives such as education, family life and mental health.

‘Fundamentally failed’: Independent review slams Woolworths over Darwin Dan Murphy’s storeWoolworths failed to consider the negative effects its now-axed store would have had on the city’s Aboriginal community and put commercial benefits first, independent report finds | domp domp Oh please. woolworths is the largest owner of parasitic poker machines in Oz, as if they ever cared about any community. They make the volunteers in the community work harder by spreading the damage all over Australia. domp Just out of curiosity, who did this report? Because the same argument can be made for EVERY licensed premises in Australia!? Alcohol can have negative effects on some members of the community, be they aboriginal or not. Alcoholism is not racist? Why would you be? domp It's not like they built it outside the gates of a remote dry community. It's in suburban Darwin. People shouldn't be allowed to stop others buying a wide selection of wine cheaply just because some people are alcoholics. Maybe they should move to a dry community?
