Abstract

The author argues against the call for a royal commission into child abuse in remote communities in Australia. Topics discussed include media's focus on child sexual abuse in remote aboriginal towns, the racist tropes about indigenous men, and three dimensions of addressing child sexual abuse in the country including the need to work with potential victims and perpetrators, the prosecution of offenders and the care for acknowledging victims post-sentencing and the rehabilitation of offenders.
