His ignorance of the nature of oral histories in those cultures without formal writing is truly amazing. Equating narratives of past massacres with “stories your grandmother tells” manages to denigrate both women & history in one sentence

Abbott is proud of his wilful ignorance. He'll take a white person's third-hand news report rather than an Aboriginal person's witness account. Even by his own definition of acceptable evidence, the 'Aboriginal Protector' reports over decades either side of 1900 confirm atrocities of all kinds.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.
