Aborigines banned from using booze & porn

I kind of thought we (in terms of colonizing governments) were beyond these types of paternalistic actions.  Yes, this may be a serious issue, but aren't there better ways of dealing with it???

I found that story really disturbing. Shouldn't the focus be on education and alleviating the poverty? That and forcing ALL of the children to have an examination seemed unnecessarily traumatic.

It sounds like a quick 'Band-Aid' fix instead of actually trying to solve the problem.

Whoops! Sorry about the double post. We must have been posting at the same time. They both have comments now, so I'll leave them both. Sorry about that, and thanks for posting.
