I'm pretty sure this article is referring to our aboriginal communities. They are of course well fucked with child abuse, rape, alcoholism and petrol sniffing. These problems continue due to a strong sense of tribalism (where judges give lesser sentences to offenders because they are black and should somehow be exempt from our laws) and the 'stolen 'generations where we apparently removed black kids from their parents for racist reasons so now authorities are to scared to move in and help these kids.
