Shock findings: Pregnancy indicates presence of male. Presence of male indicates abuse.

In the piece I posted yesterday I displayed my ignorance - not in itself unusual, of course. But in this case I was specifically unaware of our equality-driven government’s new initiative on violence against women. No more.

The staggering thing is that neither Andrew Lansley nor, inexplicably, Ann Widdecombe rejected the idea wholesale or demanded to know what statistical evidence supports it.

Speaking of violence against women, despite a $20 million dollar nation wide government “info-mmercial” campaign launched just before the recent federal election, (http://www.facs.gov.au/Internet/minister1.nsf/content/australia_says_no.htm) there is some politically correct barriers still to be broken here in Australia on the “violence against women” front.

In particular the high rates of intra-racial violence reported in studies of remote Aboriginal communities. Some studies estimate that up to one third of Aboriginal women in the Northern Territory may be assaulted in a year.

Dealing with this problem can create a conflict with the liberal desire to reduce the sky high incarceration rates for Aboriginal men.

It is possible that yet again we are seeing ‘reform’ and social progress winning at the expense of the weakest groups in the community.

I have no idea what the solution is to these kind of issues but certainly knee jerk political correctness is not going to help.
