And what is the truth here in Australia about deaths of Aborigines in our prison system ?
We are constantly fed this mantra by left wing extremists that Aborigines are dying at much higher rates than non indigenous Australians in our corrective facilities when the opposite is actually the case. NON INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER DEATH RATE IN OUR PRISON SYSTEM THAN INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS. ( around 25% higher in fact ) Which begs the question, if authorities have been so successful in lowering what was once a higher death rate amongst aborigines in our prison system, why cant they put the same effort into lowering the death rate among non indigenous inmates ?
Just another example of why " all lives should matter equally " and in Australia there are often more pressing needs in non indigenous, minority communities than indigenous ones, despite the lies and distorted truths we are constantly being told by left wing extremist groups.
Yes but what you have to look at is what percentage of the population Indigenous Australians are. Total numbers are 25% more for non Indigenous which includes Arabic, Caucasian Anglo Saxon, Caucasian Slavic etc.., Asian, Polynesian, South Sea Islander, Arabic, Indian etc., etc..
In relation to the size of the Aboriginal community, they are by far the worst victims.
@4channel, please view the copy and paste from the Australian Institute of criminology report. The figures quoted where a percentage, based on a per 100 prisoners basis. They clearly show that indigenous inmates suffer around 25% less deaths per 100 indigenous inmates than deaths per 100 non indigenous inmates. Pre 1991, indigenous prison inmates where dying in disproportionately higher numbers than non indigenous inmates.
What this clearly shows is that over several decades extensive reviews and changes have been made to reduce death rates in indigenous prisoners, but the same efforts have not been made for the non indigenous prison population.
Previous links in posts I have made also show that prisoners with diagnosed mental health issues make up 49% of the prison population, while indigenous prisoners make up 28% of the prison population. While there will undoubtedly be some people who match both groups, mental health illness is a much larger problem regards incarceration than being indigenous and those with mental health issues are dying at greater rates in prison per 100 inmates than indigenous prisoners.
All of which illustrates the simple view I have expressed all along. All lives matter and here in Australia indigenous issues are not our greatest problem, nor are they the least funded or recognised. We should be able to walk and chew gum too. ie. continue to work on reducing indigenous disadvantage, but recognise that there are also larger issues with mental health problems, drug and alcohol addiction issues and homelessness. There will undoubtedly be some indigenous Australians who also cross over into these other larger social issues and so by taking action on these problems we are also advancing the well being of many indigenous Australians at the same time.
As with most things, the problems are much more complex than the " black lives matter " extreme, radical, leftist movement would have us believe..
