The problem is, and it is a problem, lawyers will block their ears and call the victim racist if they say their own skin not a white person did it. Aboriginal victims seem to matter more to lawyers when the perpetrator is white, not Aboriginal. It is not somehow more acceptable to be raped, abused and murdered when the one doing it to you has the same colour skin. - Bess Price, Aboriginal woman to Creative Spirits
No Australia doesn't , Only the racist white supremacist`s love her, I am Australian Aboriginal and i hate her for her lies she was aloud stated at the national press club, She is a wicked and disgusting person. Now retract your false claim .
A most courageous and inspiring address by a contemporary Australian Aboriginal woman, brilliantly making a case for equality for Aboriginal women to freedom from violence at the hands of Aboriginal men and calling for an end to the silence on these matters from white feminists and activists furthering their own agenda that all the ills are the work of white men.
Everyone is telling their own story , no matter who they are. But when you have someone who gives up their own time and energy to help others then That is a good thing. If you are really concerned about violence against women and children then look at the cause of that violence. You will find that Men are responsible for a good part of that violence against women and children , but then ask yourself why are Men so violent what is the root cause of all that violence. Do you think Men need help with any of their problems. I believe all Men should have a reason for being alive women need protection like Men need perpose. We the taxe payers of the Country must ensure that our children are receiving a full education with a job waiting for them when they finish school. Women need to be free to be what they want to be and Men need to be able to provide a happy life for their family. Every Man needs help with what ever their problems are and we should ensure that everyone is happy living their life.
@@garyjohnstone6422 I was talking about men who are violent, who are the ones who need help. Most men are responsible good fathers. Most women are good mothers. But there are men who need help as well as there are women who need help but it's only the women who receive it .when there is a domestic disturbance in the family the men get arrested and the women get treated like children. But both are at fault when it doesn't work out. I didn't say anything about the color of their skin but it's true that black people especially men are more violent than anyone else. But no one wants to talk about that. Why most acts of violence are done by black people especially their men.
A politician that genuinely cares. A politician that inspires A politician that speaks the truth, articulates with great strength & power A politician that makes you smile. A politician that gives hope. ❤️🙏👆 #jacintaprice
NOW we know she was Rejected overwhelming by Aboriginal Voting Booth in the referendum...they voted YES WHY .. her solutions. was keep the money with Big Canberra Bureaucrats ....mostly put in place by her LNP That was what it was REALLY about
Aboriginal booths ALL voted AGAINST her .she told us they were on her side.. Now we know they are not .. she needs to go She has left them in the hands of the Canberra Burecrats.. that have failed for 9 years under the LNP The money, better spent by them according to all economist ... will continue to be wasted BUT she is being held to account @@le-annbuoni-smith3827
Jacinta you raise some critical points. I spent 12 years in the Central Australian desert and have been surprised at the views I have had to endure at University. Better to listen to people who have lived in remote Australia than the popular and dumbed down racial argument of black/white, ridiculous labelling in a redundant 'social justice' costume, changing Australia Day dates and the boosting of individual careers whilst actually doing nothing for people (especially the women and children) who need it most. You have my support. I relate to what you say and I look forward to hearing more.
You say that you care about women and children but what about the Men because being a family is about a Man and a woman who have children why would you not help the whole family by helping the Man first by ensuring that he can provide for his family.
These things need to occur together. Indigenous Australians deserve respect and recognitions (changing the date and frontier war recognition) and aboriginal members of the community need purpose and prosperity. AND we need to advocate for the rights of women and children.
Good on you Jacinta, it is time the Australian people knew the truth, and not just that we are being held hostage to the fact that the Aboriginals were here before us. Our government need to stop turning the other cheek and talks need to be with the Elders about people being charged by the full extent of the Australian law for these crimes.
Jacinta you and your mother are amazing intelligent, strong and beautiful ladies, i really hope young girls look up to and aspire to be like you both. Your the living proof that with the love and support of strong parents, not just anything but everything is possible. True change starts with honest open conversations, education and support. Much respect and love to you and your family. ❤
In Canada, we are to be convinced that there is a cabal of serial killers along a Northern BC Highway that borders along several First Nations Territories. Rampant poverty, and domestic violence. The RCMP (who are the only law enforcement throughout rural Canada) are not allowed on these territories without expressed permission. A Constable can literally stand on the border of these lands, watch a man beat his "wife" to death, and can do absolutely nothing about it, unless the Territory Police, or Chief invite them to intervene. I am not making this up. Now, in the world of reality, what makes more sense? Yes, serial killers exist, and rural highways with random women are still the most common ground for such heinous crimes, but serial murder isn't what it once was like in the 80s & 90s thanks to DNA. Or? First Nations Rampant Domestic Violence issues and examples you cite so directly in a country that has many similarities to ours... G'Deh...
Jacinta you are an inspiration to all Australians. Thank you for the up front honesty and integrity that you bring to the table of this debate. All Australians should listen to this. Most of us have never heard this truth!!! Thanks to you and your team we vote NO NO NO To dividing our beautiful country. Yoh are amazing 😊
I'm proud to be a Christian Aboringal Woman who believes in the Lord God For for my salvation and freedom in Him, Jesus Christ. Nothing compares to Him. .
Imagine this : Albo debating Ms. Price as shadow minister of any portfolio in the final days of the forthcoming election ( which , by the way , would be his last in any capacity ) cutting him to shreds . There would be blood .
The very reason I did not want a bunch of men who are known as elders having a voice in parliament. Jacinta is a true voice of her people and she speaks the truth!
Wow, sad this isn't being given the attention it should. We give a big bad footy player more time for being called a name. Good to see a strong indigenous women doing what's right for her community, not what's going to make them feel good or get likes on the internet.
It is because micro aggressions are deemed far more relevant and important than a real crime of violence. Thank Academia and radical leftist groups (again, thank Academia) for that one.
Imagine Jacinta Price as Australian Prime Minister 😮 wow a person with integrity... what a novel idea...of course will never happen we can't have that 😢
No seriously. People having voted no both want to make it clear that some real concerted action needs to be done, and that Australians are NOT, by and large, racists. I've never voted LNP by would vote for her in the next election.
Jacinta price. You are the true warrior. We need you as our prime minister you are a true leader. Yes it can be done it's called people power by voting for you for our next prime Minister of Australia. god bless you and your family
Thank you Jacinta, and your family. You are strong and courageous. You have given us, your fellow Australians, an understanding of your culture; your heartaches, your successes, and your frustrations, but most of all the deep love you have for our shared country, always spoken without malice, but with great respect and a wealth and depth of knowledge and understanding through having walked the walk. Thank you and God bless you . Never give up. Our nation is desperately in need of leaders with such integrity such as yourself, leaders who will fight with and for truth, who do life with a strong moral compass and speak from the heart.
I am crying listening to this it breaks my heart. I care. Thank you Jacinta for speaking the real truth. May people get behind you for change. May God walk with you. I pray for this.
Those of us who pay attention and/or live in regional Australia know these truths Jacinta is talking about, but the majority of City-dwellers who opine on this with a sense of moral superiority have no idea, and are so regressive with their solutions. I have just as much contempt for these regressives as I do for racists.
No one wants to deal with this issue cuz it's so difficult they would rather just give a lot of coverage and money to arts and cultural programs in the city to show that they care
absolutely stunning speech. Yes, where are the feminists and human rights lawyers making a case for the treatment of Aboriginal woman and children under traditional law? Thank you for explaining so clearly the cultural practices which effect women so negatively..... your stories are so vivid. The Aboriginal communities cannot hide their atrocities towards women using traditional law , we live in the 21st Century... women have the "right" to equality in Australia.... we should all share in the benefits of this society. A cross cultural ambassador if I ever did see one... And feminist in the right spot .... where she is really needed. This is a very wise lady and a powerful voice for highlighting that Aboriginal society is not this ethereal ancient system of harmony some activists want you to imagine it to be.... Bad shit happens to women in many different cultures accross the world..... especially OLD cultures, which have always subjugated with violence... people today forget this is just a fact and not "racist"..... Murder, violence and rape should not be excused under any system... One law for all...
It's the Aboriginals abusing, badhing and raping their own people. Stop blaming us. We do not agree with this. We pray for help.for those suffering. It breaks my heart to hear. This must be stopped. Jacinta is a good soul truly trying to help her people by telling the truth. May God walk with you Jacinta in speaking the truth. Politicians should have the decency to stand up to all this and bring down the law. Help these poor women and children. There old customs are so UNGodly. Jacinta is speaking the real truth. Please help these poor souls. God Bless Jacinta for her truth and cries for help for her people. We are not racist , we care!!!!!!
It could be just a myth, a modern fantasy narrative, that such thing as feminists and human rights lawyers exist. Perhaps they are stories based on past famous prototypes or perhaps those are also myths. Humans, female humans too, evolve myths to tell the stories of their ages long suppressed desires. Social forces, like media, collude with our wishes, we are no innocent bystanders here, put the names feminist, human rights lawyer etc on some of us. 'Where are they?' If they exist , where the money is. If there is money there, legal services, and they are not there, then...looks like don't exist! What muddled thinking allows the practice of these atrocities a Special Pass as 'customary law'? (though interesting to see now how muddled old Canada has the same crock.) A leftover from postmodernism pretending all 'culture's' 'laws' are equally equal and must be respected? UN Resolution 747 b ii says so. And so does the Australian Constitution, Section 5, para 21. And when they conflict? Well...um. What is most convenient for the lawmakers and those influencing them. Could the powers that ultimately be be trying to create a useful caste of drunken psychopaths? Could it be provoking group suicide by encouraging 'customary lore' amplified with modern treats???????????? I'm sorry, I'm just a confused throwback from unknown worlds, an alien that was born here and will die here and no one has ever wanted to listen to my voice, though I do suspect I am far from alone in that.
What an amazing woman. I wish her well and success. I'm a migrant to this country from El Salvador. Both of my great-grand mothers were indigenous women of Maya/Pipil ancestry. Sexual assault and violence was also common in their indigenous cultural experience, and sadly, it continues to be, often fueled by alcohol and also drugs. As a Christian man of both Spanish and Indigenous mixed ancestry, I have given my daughters the opportunity for independent thought, and encouraged a strong sense of belief in their own ability, despite any barriers they may encounter. However, I can see they are being influenced by the modern "social justice" narrative popular in today's social media. They seem to be more pre-occupied with "changing the date" than the wave of violence and disadvantage suffered by Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal people in our cities. There is a fear to discuss anything that may even sound like another "intervention". However, these issues need to be spoken about and brought out into the light, or change will never happen. It is not the popular way, it is painful, but people are suffering because not enough is being done about it. If Aboriginal men and women don't stand up for their own, noone will, because the "white fellas" are too afraid to do anything in fear of the "social justice warriors" threatening their political positions. Thank you Jacinta. May you continue to be an insperation to all Australians and I hope you'll be supported in your efforts.
She is the worst example of a professional politician ... The National party that she belongs to has the lowest standard in the Christian democratic on world on Native affairs!!! - Every county in has has Native Tile for over 150 year BUT our High Court gave the ONLY people without it some THEY OPPOSED IT - Tries to get votes from Extreme Right Wing Nutter by saying “ there has been NO bad outcomes from Colonisation " Shameful ... She IS Lydia Thorpe with the opposite rubbish about how there is NO good things from colonisation ..SAME SAME & POISON for Australia WHEN will you treat Aboriginal like other people..
A courageous lady who has spoken truths that have rattled us to the core!! May she advance to great heights in being a remedial voice in Australia... to help all to living a beautiful life. It can and should happen !!!
Listening to this speech in 2023 because the voice referendum is looming Jacinta, you need to get this out to all Australians The truth needs to be heard!!!!!!!! And I urge Australians to vote no!
You can't get any more truth telling , Where are all these voices for these young women? It's absolutely tragic I will not hand over any more power. With all good conscience, my vote is a definite No.. and let's get on with the business of making people more accountable .
Jacinta is an extremely Strong Woman, her Family and herself have been targeted with some nasty insults and hopefully after this NON Event with the Voice She’ll go on to bigger and better places within the Government.🤞👍
Such a strong Aboriginal woman she carries the Pride of her Country, Australia, her people and every other Australians. The World is watching and hearing some homegrown "truth's) Kia Kaha (stay strong) Senator Jacinta Price
Thank you for all your efforts Jacinta in bringing the majority of Australians together to defeat the voice. I truly hope you will run for the PM's job. You have the backing to win.
Dear Jacinta, thank you for bravely speaking out about what can only be described as barbarism. There is no place for this behaviour and the sooner that cultural law is expunged the better. I don’t care if dirty old men lose their traditional right to rape and victimise young girls. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can this behaviour be accepted as “Normal” behaviour. Shame on those in authority for watching silently by whilst these atrocities continue.
SHAME on the aboriginal activists, human rights lawyers, politicians and the mainstream media for ignoring this issue or pretending "it doesn't exist, or is a very minor issue. These people would rather place the blame on "Colonisation and white Australia" than look inward to see the real causes Jacinta your are a smart, eloquent woman. All your speeches are so direct in highlighting the aboriginal cultural practices that lead to the violence you describe Undeniably, white Australia has been the cause of some aboriginal discrimination and traumas in the past. But since the 1967 Referendum huge progress has been made in aboriginal wellbeing and opportunities You are the right woman for our times Jacinta. Australia is lucky and blessed to have you Take care, allow time to relax in the love of your husband, sons, parents and extended close family
I have so much respect for this lady and a newfound respect for Indiginous Australians as a result of listening to her talk. IMO Political correctness is destroying Australia, and the world for that matter. We need to speak truth, have compassion and do what is right, rather than what "looks" right. IMO, The government wants to keep the indigenous community down to make themselves stronger. We need to start listening more to people like Jacinta, and less to the corrupt politicians and the media.
It's also in the vested interests of the Leftist/Communist/Militant Feminist professional victimhood community to perpetuate the dependency ideology so they can feather their own nests and line their own pockets at the expense of the aborigine. This is why Jacinta has received so much backlash from those quarters. They don't want the problems to be fixed because it would make their own and their cronies' job descriptions no longer valid. They act purely out of selfish ambition, seeing aboriginal victims of physical, sexual, economic, and psychological violence as a cash cow. May their greed be as ashes in their mouths.
She lived to save face value. The fact is the Men are White and Jacinta blame shifts to Aboriginal men. How false. "Baby found in a suitcase" on side of road in SA. It made headlines. Mother found in NSW Forrest?
i know there were issues in Aboriginal communities, but I'm shocked to hear it is that bad. Theres always two sides of a coin. No culture on earth is perfect and every culture on earth needs to change to keep up with the modern world.
Jacinta Aboriginal culture comes from a Uni book she read . If you don't live a culture Lore who is Jacinta to say it should stop? Aboriginal Lore by spear throwing is quick justice. The Court process is too lengthy and expensive, time consuming and stressful.
Of all who support a NO voice. Jacinta has been the most impressive. She talks from the heart, and she what she experienced. Voting Yes will not improve the life of the sufferings souls, but it will create more bureaucracy, more power for from their ivory tower, and well made up, smartly clothed, well educated, and, gourmet fed aborigines(Thanks to the British) to exercise their will on the rest. The Aborigines are divided on this issue, those who belong to small clans will miss out. Can't the politicians, and good willed Yes voters see that? I am a firm NO voter, not because I am a racist, a stupid, a dinosaur, or have a bad heart, it is because I care about the lives of those aborigines that Jacinta is talking about, and I am intelligent. Bravo Jacinta. You are a gift to this Country.
This is how the gap will be closed. When you accept there is a problem that falls upon you to fix. It will be fixed. But when you get told it’s not your problem you look for others to fix it.
Thank you Jacinta for your continued honest conversation on the issues facing indigenous women. No female, regardless of race, should be exposed to physical or sexual violence and the trauma associated with this. I admire your strength and clear communication on the issues you value. Thank you.
Wow! 7 years later and this is still so relevant. Thank you, Jacinta. You are an amazing woman of strength and wisdom. May you be blessed as you help to bring about the changes needed, continuing on in this year 2023, especially now that the issue of the Referendum has been done and dusted. Now to get to the real issues and not have them pushed under the rug by the, what I call, the "Indigenous elite". Those who have no idea of the realities of remote Communities, yet want to speak for all Communities, while receiving all the glory and platitudes for their fake empathy. You are a woman who has attained a place of prominence in our Government and I thank you for that. One day, I hope to see you as the Prime Minister of our country, Australia! ❤🎉❤
I do hear you Jacinta. I am from Iran, a country that the government promotes violence mostly against women and children in the name of spirituality, morality and Islamic culture. Australia, please say NO to the Voice. Almost half a century ago, my people made quite the same mistake in my country. People said YES to constitutional change in favour of suppressed people and spirituality without knowing exactly what was going to change. And now, that change is the main source of my people miseries.
If First Nations people want a better life out where it counts in the bush and communities this is the woman that can achieve all those goals and more ,she knows what goes on
Well said by a courageous and honest lady. You bring clarity and commonsense to the fore front. Jacinta you are a straight shooter and a leader may you continue on big time.❤❤❤❤❤
Jacinta you are amazing, while others play the blame game, who's right and wrong,, you and Warren Mundine are talking about what the problems are & how to help your people.
Every sentance in this speach is so overwhelmingly powerful. What a Leader. Prime Minister for Australia, she'll sort it All out for a better country, that's for sure.
This woman has already done more for native Australians than any other, ever. May she be an example to young aboriginals, both male and female. 98 % of Aussie's love her ! We are all Australians, that in itself is something to be proud of ! 10:23
Such a honest, inspiring woman who should be listened to and advice, heard and changes needed put into legislation. A very wise lady. All Aboriginal people in parliament should support and unite with her. I need sleep so will finish watching her story. A strong very wise woman🙂
7 years ago wow! This is why it has been frustrating her all along. Her strength to her drive was an inspiration then and now. She has been speaking, but no one has heard. Listening is good, but hearing takes action.
It is unbelievable that the Aboriginal women does not get any help against violent men in their communities! Of course the women should have help with this behaviour!!! It is the whole society of Australia that it should be equal responsibility for laws, and that all people in Australia should have the same help to sort out these Hugh problems!!!!! A very good speech of this women how it is today in their communities!!!!! It must change and quickly!!!!
Why can we not all be proud of our multicultural heritage, like Jacinta. Every culture brings something special to our communities and makes this country special, as long as we are all first and foremost, Australian. The benefits of modern facilities in our first word nation are available to everyone in this country, even more so to aboriginals. We are all willing to help those in need. The voice, makarrata, pay the rent etc. however, takes this way too far. Vote NO.
"Far more support in the community for perpetrators than for victims." Sounds like the wider religious church businesses inc. Cultures of silencing and victim blaming. Not so different after all.
Wow! What a woman. This lady straddles both the indiginous poplulation as well as 'white' australia, and she is 100% correct in everything she says. If she were to run for PM, she would be getting my vote. This country needs more like her, people who want to treat everybody equally, who can understand the issues with in indigenous societies and can help them in a practical way.
I am impressed. This video was made 7 years ago. 2016. Now 2023 and Australia voted against an aboriginal only voice to Parliament and enshrined into the constitution. We often think, why don't aboriginal people come into our modern Australia. This was eloquently answered at the end of this speech. We have a responsibility to hold out a hand to help, not the other way around. This was a reconciliation speech, that most politicians would not take the time to listen to.
With tears and a heavy heart, I thank you, for those girls and women who have suffered, I say we hear you, we see you, we care and we dont want the hurt to continue another generation.. i love the aspects of the aboriginal cultures, truly amazing, we could all learn so much, but this dark shadow has to change, harm has to stop. I also feel for the many boys and men who feel powerless to stop harm to their sisters, mothers aunts and daughters, it must be truly traumatic to witness and not be able to intervene. Change is hard, truth is painful but the only way forward. I was so fortunate to travel to remote locations and experience and meet so many different communities and towns, to meet younger fathers who want there daughters to know their culture and history, to be proud, now i know why many said, but my girl will never be promised, (not the word they used, the translation they gave). 25 yrs ago i did not understand, sadly i do now… We are one, and we are many, we should have the same rights to grow, learn, be safe and be protected from harm…
Future PM 🫡👏🏼 What an incredible woman and role model-for all Australians-but especially for young Indigenous girls. THESE are the kinds of courageous women of integrity that the Aboriginal community needs to be elevating, rather than the countless race-baiting grifters that only seek to stoke division, continually tearing at old wounds in the hope of further lining their own pockets.
Jacinta thank you, I am very proud of your honesty intelligence and strength and courage in telling the truth. I know of the heartache and struggle you face, stand firm, as the truth must be told.
As a women, who believes in universal human rights and opposes cultural relativism, I mostly agree with this talk, but I'm a little annoyed that she uses the term "white feminist" as an insult. The people she's talking about call themselves "intersectional" feminists and use "white feminist" as a slur against women who disagree with them. I understand that she's not using the term the same way. She just means feminists who are white, but even so our whiteness isn't the problem. The problem is the ideologies we're expected to believe in, specifically cultural relativism and intersectionality, which teach white women that they should put every concern under the sun ahead of the rights of women and that anything else is "white feminism". If white feminism means believing in universal human rights and rejecting cultural relativism, then I have no problem being a white feminist.
Thank you so much for your honesty. Keep up the good work. As Australians, we are one people of many cultures. Let us live in harmony with equality and respect for one another. Keep up the good work.
Just discovered this... you see now Senator Price has been an advocate for Indigenous Affairs for a long time. She now needs the opportunity to make change happen. The activist class has done nothing to close the Gap. I don't think they really want too.
They don’t want to change the system because they love the almighty dollar…the money is their god. Until the good doer, greedy, unscrupulous lawyers are broken, little will change. I fully support Jacinta Price. She and her mother are very brave and strong women. I have just discovered this speech also and am amazed it has had only 48,000 views. It is a powerful speech.
How can Australia not hear, applaud and react to this impressive woman, with massive unambiguous support? As an older white European (specifically a much-hated Englishman) I have no first-hand experience whatever of the Australian picture. I do however have experience of hypocritical, self-satisfied, white feminists who have an utterly skewed and irrational view of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. CIS, of course, which exclusively reserves its most enthusiastic applause for vacuous, but celebrated, Americans with the intellectual acuity of a goldfish, barely managed a grudging (and belated) ripple of applause. The utterly admirable Jacinta Price - who put forward a comprehensively well-argued case - MUST surely be listened to, acknowledged, and responded to thoughtfully for Australia to move forward in a positive and enlightened manner. Do not fall into the laissez-faire trap which British politicians have enthusiastically rushed into, and let defensive and misdirected “white guilt” deflect you from doing WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE RIGHT.
I fix sometimes very complex electro-mechanical problems in buildings and the first thing you need to do to be successful in repairing something that’s broken is identifying the problem in the first place!!! I love this lady and she should be our next Prime Minister!!👏🏻🥰👍
