KOORIS' JAIL RISK HIGHER THAN REST OF POPULATION

The clothes and transportation may look different, but has anything really changed since 1788?
    Peter Mickelburough, Herald Sun, and Mikiverse Politics in red, April 10, 2013.  
    THE imprisonment rate of Victorian Kooris has grown five times faster than for the rest of the population in the past decade.
    Koori offenders are more likely to be violent, -i've witnessed more police violent offenders than Originie, why doesn't Murdoch get one of his journalists to write about that?- Would you not be a little pissed off if you were the victim of a military invasion that has continued unabated for two hundred and fifteen years??- with almost a third of those in the Magistrates' Court sentenced for acts intended to cause injury, -in other words, MORE THAN TWO THIRDS are in that court rort for non violent means, but even though it is actually twice the number for non-violent than violents acts, why does this Murdoch owned paper focus on violence? Are they trying to send a signal that Originie people are violent as part of the fear programming that they offer their readers???  compared with less than a quarter of non-Koori offenders.
    Burglary offences are also more common among Koori offenders -Am i the only one thinking that these figures aren't calculating the theft and burglary of THIS LAND by white anglo criminals operating under charter?, but they are less likely to be sentenced for traffic, drug or deception offences.
    More than two decades since Aboriginal deaths in custody first hit the headlines, a new report by the Sentencing Advisory Council reveals Kooris are 13.4 times more likely to be imprisoned than non-indigenous Victorians, up from 7.9 in 2002. THIS IS RACISM. IT HAS TO STOP.
    The Comparing Sentencing Outcomes for Koori and non-Koori Adult Offenders in the Magistrates' Court of Victoria report concludes that while it was not possible to rule out racial discrimination in sentencing, it was feasible that outcomes were influenced by Koori over-representation in the juvenile justice system, and, in turn, the child welfare system. Yet this comparing sentences acronym don't appear to grasp that:
    1. Koori over-representation in the juvenile justice system
    2. Koori over-representation in the child welfare system, and
    3. racial discrimination in sentencing
    Are all products of the same racist programming system.
    Over-representation of Kooris in juvenile detention is even more pronounced than in adult jails, at more than 20 times the rate of other youths.
    Council chairman Arie Freiberg said there were several causes for this over representation, most the likely result of the continued consequences of historical disadvantage. That is the nice way of saying GENOCIDE. Rape. Murder. Torture. Kidnapping. Theft.
    Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service CEO Wayne Muir said many young Koori offenders had come straight out of the child-protection system, but Victoria recorded no evidence on the number of such youngsters or their problems, such as drug and alcohol use.
