A see you in Tahiti in Kalgoorlie Children's Court
Dateline Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (tourist brochure photo at left); from today's "Australian" newspaper: An Aboriginal girl who kicked a woman and called her a "white slut" did not engage in racial vilification because the slur was common street language. A magistrate from the West Australian goldfields threw out a landmark race-hate charge yesterday against the 16-year-old, saying the slur against Kalgoorlie woman Melissa Blackney was "the patois of the street".The story continues, with this Magistrate Kate Auty pontificating to those in attendance at Kalgoorlie Children's Court (mind you: this was said in children's court, by the judge, with plenty of, um, children in attendance...): "'Fuck' is a fairly innocuous word in her argot," Dr Auty said. "That does not mean that I find that language acceptable; it's offensive. And when people come in here and I find that they have called someone a black cunt, I tell them the same thing."
Unlike Magistrate Auty, I'm speechless. Let's all fuck shit piss move to Kalgoorlie, shall we?
