From the videos released on television, she looks like an asian girl. Does anyone know if this is so? Not that if she wasnt asian the crime is any less, but the media loves to tag people if they are not white here (think 'of middle easten, asian, aboriginal appearance').......to prevent racial backlash like the beach riots?

Thoughts?

Umm.. ihave no idea as i have just skimmed over the paper at work a couple of hours ago...i havent even seen the footage...i just only know superficially about it..my first thoughts were..it is shocking...and ..damn those teenagers... but i think generally the news will try to keep race annoymous in stories if possible as it eliminates predijucial reactions and most of the times will be illrelevant..and will unduly stir up more basic emotional reactions that needed.

I heard a small segment of the radio interview of the father & he sounded 100% true blue aussie to me.

So all Asians in Australia are still immigrants who speak with accents?

One word:


NO

can someone post a pic of the girl or a link cuz i tried searching for the news but cant find it

The father is blonde 100% Anglo-Australian. They don't show the girl's face but she appeared to be a brunette.

Are there actually any Asians out in Werribee? Isn't that where Merve Hughes originally hails from?

I hope they throw the book at those mutherfuckers and sue their parents for $$$$. Pack of dropkicks.

^ Good move. It'd be the worse for those little ratbags if they didn't go and face the music.

BTW, do you know what a Shanghai is? I didn't either, it's an old Aussie name for a slingshot... but I digress.

Back in 1926 or whatever, those drunken, farty old codgers in the High Court decided that the dad was financially liable when his son put another kid's eye out with a Shanghai. As far as I know, they can probably sue their arses off for this if they chose to do so. Assuming in advance that those degenerate nongs and their families even have so much as a pot to piss in.

Turns out that the girl had a severe learning disability too. Bloody hell, and they made her 'perform lewd acts' in front of the camera.

anyone got a link to this?
