This is about Australia, but it is about an indigenous thing. This all sounds familiar.

Australia has been rocked by the case of a 10-year-old indigenous girl who was gang raped in her home community, and the revelation that her nine rapists had not been given prison sentences, in part because the judge found that the victim “probably agreed” to have sex.

The case has prompted a bout of national introspection after it has emerged that the court’s leniency was only one of many institutional failures toward the victim.

“I’m disgusted and appalled by the reports that I’ve seen,” the newly elected prime minister, Kevin Rudd, said Monday. “I am horrified by cases like this, involving sexual violence against women and children. My attitude is one of zero tolerance.”

Australia has quite the record for persecuting its indigenous population. Worse than the US in fact.

What can you expect from a country founded by convicts and murderers?
