| dc.description.notes | Describes the position of Aboriginal women before, during and after colonisation. The Western male perception misinterpreted Indigenous women’s status, believing that their communities underestimated and diminished them. In addition, actual mistreatment and exploitation became the norm within the first settlers and their descendants. Today, Aboriginal women are still physically, sexually, socially and economically abused in higher proportions than the rest of the population. The legal system has poorly responded to this group’s needs. Racism, ignorance and indifference have not been exceptional among police and court staff attitudes. The cases of R v Burt Lane, Ronald Hunt and Reggie Smith and R v Mingkilli, Martin and Mituma are cited to support these claims. The author rejects the notion that involving people foreign to the community is a form of treason. She concludes by mentioning the case of R v Dennis Narjic as an example of justice and protection provided by the courts. | en |
