Aboriginal troubles—my op-ed in the Daily Tele

There's been a lot of talk in recent days about the government's response to reports of Aboriginal child abuse and related issues in the Northern Territory.

I give some perspectives from the Bible here, in the Daily Telegraph.

RESPONSES to recent government action on child abuse, paedophilia, drunkenness, incest and pornography in remote Aboriginal communities in the Territory have been varied. Some have also been stupid.

I so love it when you do this.
This is the Gordo I love, not the one who is so narky on the Anglican Media boards...

Ditto. Would the real Gordon Cheng please step forward?

Gordon Cheng said...

Mike, you back-handed complimenter, you.

You don't get nice Gordo without nasty Gordo, I'm afraid. simul justus et peccator, and all that.

but please pray that I may have opportunity to declare God's word more boldly, as I ought.

Excellent article, Gordo. But why the description of you in a tongue not "understanded of the people" at the bottom of the article? Please terminate the let's-force-the-people-to-speak-Greek campaign asap.
