Bennelong Papers

When the horrific is mundane — Part IV

  • Tony Thomas
  • 9th May 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Sexually mutilated infants, toddlers raped, children sodomised, women so badly beaten they come to envy dogs. Stripped of cant and buck-passing, beyond a patronising and indulgent judiciary, remote Indigenous communities are being eaten alive by the cancers of grog, misogny and endemic violence

A blacked-out past — Part III

  • Tony Thomas
  • 8th May 2013

One hears much of Aboriginal suffering from those who would pin the blame on "invaders". Politically expedient as those excuses may be, they omit a richly documented record of appalling sexual violence and mutilation

The long history of Aboriginal violence — Part II

  • Tony Thomas
  • 7th May 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (1)

It is fashionable to excuse the current and appalling levels of Indigenous violence on dispossession and oppression, but the unpalatable truth is that it has been a feature of Aboriginal culture since long before the First Fleet

‘Yabbered’ to death — Part I

  • Tony Thomas
  • 6th May 2013

Death, disease, degradation -- that is what the enormous expenditure "close the gap" is buying. That and a bureaucracy which wraps its failures and waste in the management-speak

Cue the applause for a tall tale of black oppression

  • Roger Franklin
  • 4th March 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Despite its improbable plot, critics are hailing a semi-autobiographical play by "emerging" Indigenous artist and grant recipient Nakkiah Lui. What a pity she didn't omit the tired cliches of black victimhood and simply tell her own story

The Monthly’s nasty little hatchet job

  • Stephanie Jarrett
  • 3rd March 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

By all accounts, The Monthly's John van Tiggelen was a picture of gentlemanly decorum at the launch of Stephanie Jarrett's brave new book on the roots of Indigenous violence. Back at the office, however, the bile poured forth

A program so good it had to be stopped

  • Ian Mitchell
  • 18th February 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Few now remember the Indigenous Family Resettlement Scheme, an astonishingly successful pilot program to help Aboriginal families start new lives in urban centres. Billions of squadered dollars after opponents of assimilation saw it scrapped, the simple and cost-effective scheme is well worth reconsidering

  • Sebastian Tombs
  • 15th February 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott agree our nation's foundation document needs tweaking  to recognise Indigenous Australians. Having found common ground at last, they are both on the wrong side

Indigenous violence and its enablers

  • Stephanie Jarrett
  • 28th January 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (1)

A frank and distressing exchange with author and academic Stephanie Jarrett, whose book, Liberating Aboriginal People from Violence, voices a ground-breaking demand that policymakers abandon their fuzzy cliches and patronising indifference and implement realistic remedies

The Nova Peris medicine show

  • Roger Franklin
  • 24th January 2013
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)
