Australia’s poor record on Aboriginal deaths in custody is back in the spotlight after over 500,000 protestors turned out across the nation over the weekend, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Columnist from The Australia, Herald Sun, Courier Mail, Daily Telegraph have immediately dismissed these alarming statistics as ‘imported ideas’ that have no relevance in this country and serve no purpose other than to discredit their messiah Scott Morrison.
However, the unfounded claims made by Australian media that Aboriginal people face little to no discrimination at the hands of law enforcement and the Australian courts system appear to be undermined by a highly vocal leftie calculator today.
The outspoken Canon 10-digit LS-100TS Tax Calculator has today been accused of divisive and unhelpful virtue signalling, after presenting simple mathematics that validate’s the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities distrust of law enforcement.
By comparing the 434 Indigenous deaths in custody since 1991 with the population size, and the same statistics for the non-Indigenous community, the hysterically politically correct calculator has found that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are 16 times more likely to die in custody than any other Australians.
Sky News panelist Andrew Bolt joins a chorus of other conservative commentators in condemning these existence of these numbers, and the nationwide protests that have taken place in order to highlight them.
“This calculator is just another woke member of the inner-city radical-left who have a jihad against our incredibly fair and egalitarian Australian society”
2GB Host Ray Hadley has criticised the ‘disgusting signs’ directing out police officers at these protests, in an attempt to redirect the conversation away from the fact that Aboriginal people can actually expect to die on a watch house floor or police paddy wagon over something as simple as unpaid parking fines.
However, the calculator in question insists it has done nothing but present hard numbers, and hasn’t even delved into the analysis of how this recurring
“I didn’t even dig into the alarming numbers that give reasons as to why and how these deaths occurred” said the calculator.
“Like the fact that state agencies such as police watch-houses, prisons and hospitals have been found to continuously fail to follow their own mandatory procedures in 41% of cases where Indigenous people died.”
“Or the fact that the proportion of Indigenous deaths where medical care was required at some point, but not given, is 38%.”
At time of press, the calculator was being looked at by the AFP for it’s bold decision to begin crunching the numbers on the record-breaking 2019 heatwaves that took place prior to our most devastating bushfire season in modern history.
