I don’t think that questioning her indigenous status here is helpful. Whether that was rightly or wrongly applied as a mitigating factor in her sentence for this particular crime, it’s likely that inter-generational disadvantage played a role in her life. Not an excuse for killing an old guy due to negligence in my opinion though.

Thank you for bringing some nuance to this discussion. She’s guilty, that much is true. Now, do people here want justice/revenge? or do they want rehabilition?

Guess we’ve got some racists in this space. Probably came across from the aus subreddit, which was toxic as fuck.
I agree, supporting blatantly false claims of minority status and the soft bigotry of lowered expectations?
Pretty low.
How is it “blatantly” false?
Tell me more about the systemic racism the white blonde lady with a Norman surname in Melbourne faces on a daily basis.
Ah so you’re just being a prick to Aboriginal people.
Tell me why you think an Aboriginal person might have white skin, blonde hair, and a Norman surname?
They won’t. A colonizer trying to leech resources will though.
