Marcia Langton, a leading Indigenous academic who has studied rates of child rape and prostitution in the far northeast of Western Australia, has backed moves by the state’s Police Commissioner to ban the sale of full-strength alcohol in the region.
A confidential report by Professor Langton and colleagues from the University of Melbourne describes “the shocking extent, gravity and normalisation of violence for the Indigenous community” in the region that takes in the towns of Wyndham, Kununurra and surrounding Aboriginal communities.
Child rape and child prostitution were increasing but unreported in Kununurra, according to residents, Aboriginal people and service providers who gave evidence about the harm caused by alcohol in the region.
The report is among documents provided by WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson to WA director of liquor licensing Lanie Chopping as proof that the Kimberley is in crisis and that severe blanket restrictions are necessary. Ms Chopping is taking responses from licensees until July 2022 before making a decision.
Mr Dawson wants bottle shops across the entire Kimberley banned from selling full-strength alcohol. His stance has pitted him against the McGowan government for more than two years. WA Premier Mark McGowan has repeatedly said he prefers a banned drinkers register, which is being trialled in the Kimberley.
Professor Langton, who has worked with the commonwealth government and 51 other prominent Australians to design a proposal for the Indigenous voice, believes Mr Dawson is justified.
“All the evidence points to the conclusion that the Police Commissioner has arrived at. I must agree with him,” she said.
“The alcohol industry must not be allowed to profit from the social disadvantage and circumstances in remote Western Australia. The industry has lost the argument about socially responsible drinking because the enormous costs in lives taken or irreparably damaged by alcohol and alcohol-fuelled violence are not justifiable.”
The researchers relied on police data and interviews with 66 residents, health workers, lawyers and other service providers during four field trips between November 2018 and May 2019.
“Many community members and service providers disclosed incidences of rape, sexual abuse and child prostitution in Kununurra. It was also reported that these types of incidents have increased in recent years and regularly go unreported and undisclosed,” the report states. The report found the severity of fami

Edit: I put this together before heading out on a bike ride. I've edited it for formatting now that I'm back.
I've put together a reading list of sorts for critical theory that tries to expand perspectives into critical theory from women, from people of colour, and from Indigenous perspectives. I'm white, I'm a man, I write from the land of the Wurundjeri People in Naarm and I come from Aotearoa, and thus my perspectives are influenced by scholarship from these regions. Equally, my scholarship focuses me towards particular areas and ideas, and my personal interests are probably visible below. I would not consider myself an authority on these works, but I do try to learn from them. Feel free to add comments of scholars that you think could be added.
This list is motivated by two things:
- A request for suggestions in response to my comment here.
- A sense that one 'must read' a limited number of white men before reading scholars of different backgrounds, as if white men are the source, and non-white people are simply responding to these ideas as if they were central. Fisher's Vampire Castle essay, for instance, often circulates in this forum. The same observations about the limits of identity within politics and the academy were already present in the works of Gilroy, Crenshaw, Fanon, and Said. Most of the scholars below require no substantive engagement with an existing canon. Maybe Siraj Ahmed, Gayatri Spivak, or Elizabeth Povinelli; Ahmed's take is very much about literary postcolonial scholarship, in which case reading Edward Said would be a help; Spivak's work interfaces deeply with continental philosophy; Povinelli's work is reliant on Foucault and the theorisation of power that he uses.
That said, the items below is not a 'must read' or anything in order to understand critical theory, nor is it a new canon, nor is it a suggestion that one shouldn't read scholarship by white men (but, by all means…). These are merely further suggestions. It is an attempt to start the circulation of other works. Most of them (but not all) do not require you to have read any of the canon, as, like the canon, their ideas emerge from analysis of the present.
Critical theory was originally a discipline set up by a number of men, most of whom were Jewish and had survived the Shoah, but some, such as Benjamin, had not. Others came later, and a

Managing Information Technology:
Here is a petition that I feel you should consider signing if you are concerned about the corruption and cruelty that the Indue card causes. If you don't know what I'm talking about or don't mind a refresher here is a summary.
The Indue Card is a compulsory cashless welfare card which reserves 80% of a person's payment. It was introduced in 2014 into some of the most deprived communities in this country. It is managed by a privately held company 'Indue' owned by Andrew Forrest. The Indue Card was established after a review was carried out by Andrew Forrest, a private individual, into Indigenous Employment and Training Programs at the behest of the Abbott government. Alan Tudge (MP) and Professor Marcia Langton were also on the review committee.
When the review's recommendations were given to the Tony Abbott Liberal government, Andrew Forrest insisted on giving the card to people on carers, disability, and single parent payment not just the unemployed. Professor Marcia Langton has stated that the review's recommendations intended to foster the goal of ending intergenerational poverty.
This review did not examine the impact of the older Basics Card (a government run voluntary cashless welfare card) or other similar income management schemes when they gave their recommendations. The card was initially envisioned as a fully cashless card, however Tudge altered it to be mostly cashless.
Professor Marcia Langton has since withdrawn her support for the scheme citing it as "brutal" and an abuse of the poor.
After several communities were placed on the Indue card, what positive effects have there been? Some say that there have been improvements in the areas of excessive alcohol consumption, however this can't all be attributed to the Cashless Welfare Card according to a University of Adelaide study. It's the stories from the lived experience of people themselves which is important.
[The sole parent who was trying to better life for her children and herself, who was forced to give up her enrolled nursing studies because the Indue card wouldn't let her buy a stethoscope from eBay or the second hand nursing textbooks from another student because the Indue card didn't give her enough cash.](https://
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
