Andrew Bolt is advocating cultural genocide of  the Aboriginal peoples on his 1/8/14 blog.
He is the the rapist blaming his victim.

“We see this too often – that the blame for a general dysfunction in Aboriginal communities is put not on Aboriginal culture but non-Aborigines.
This is not merely false. It also encourages us to fix everything but the real problem.
The blunt truth is that the “stronger” the Aboriginal culture the poorer a community tends to be.”

What does he mean by ” the stronger the Aboriginal culture the poorer the community tends to be”?
Yes there are problems. Problems that date back to settlement. Alcohol, drugs, social engineering all have had an impact on fragmenting Aboriginal culture.
The Amish in the US are fragmenting as their youth are being seduced by influences outside sex, drugs, crime and disaffection is a problem for them as well. Does Bolt suggest Amish are weak I doubt it. Largely this arrogant Malvern spruiker addresses no specific issues offers no specific solutions other than get rid of Aboriginal Culture…Cultural Genocide

This reply by Sam put’s Bolt’s idiocy into perspective. Self interest financial personal gain are foreign values. 50 years ago Aboriginies were just fauna as far as our census was concerned. They had no vote. They had no land or right to equal wages ,yet they could go overseas fight & die for this country.  Changes have been made and communities influenced. Where does Bolt get off blaming their culture?
Sam a reply to Bolt is worth reading.
“It is not the aboriginal culture but rather an imitated American gang style culture, fuelled by alcohol, drugs and a complete disrespect and ignorance of the historic aboriginal culture.  I could show you hours upons hours of videos of disturbances, so disgraceful and appalling of men, women and children fighting in the streets, talking like gangsters on the streets of LA, all in clear view of small children.  Make no mistake, the drug culture is not something just thrust upon these communities by outside influence but rather a entirely new under culture fuelled from within, supported by so called ‘elders’ within the communities for pure financial greed and when brought to account, out trots the cultural aspect card so distorted again, for pure personal greed.  Thankfully in that time I saw a great many well respected leaders within the communities stand up to the disgusting behaviour and lead by example, talking down those who sought to erode their cultural beliefs for their own personal gain.  All too often though, the activist types attached to various other departments made more noise, again to serve their own positions and self interests, overshadowing the good people in the community and warp the issues instead of tackling the problems that existed.   Interestingly there was an identified 62 different community groups representing indigenous people in that one community, of which we saw very little to no interaction in that area.  I will always take away something I was told by an elder one day, who stated, “We just want to be treated like everyone else, not special or different because we are aboriginal…”
Being Aboriginal is not an illness, nor Assimilation the cure. Communities have problems which need to be addressed and addressed as they are anywhere. Are the current drug issues in Melbourne significant of a total cultural change or lack of infra structure to tackle the issue? Crystal meth is an issue that cuts across all youth and cultures in Australia.Where does Bolt suggest we find an answer.
in Malvern?
