25.01.2022 PUT IN THE WORK This photo was taken when I was 17 years old. This was my first time stepping into the system. At the time, I only just finished high school. I ...was still playing footy, going to the beach and kicking it with my mates. - When I was in the system, I had a bad attitude. I spent a lot of time in lockdown and didn't like taking orders or been told what to do, especially bye screws. Unfortunately, while I was there, I suffered abuse. - When I got out after my first lagon, I started hitting the streets again. Committing violent crimes, bashing, stealing, robbing, drinking and partying. I thought I was pretty cool. I ended up involved in gang life and ended up back in the knick. I only ever did one year in prison. This is one year that I will never get back. - These days life is a lot different. I and my father have started a business helping survivors of institutional child abuse seek justice. I am mentoring young kids to guide them down the right path so they don't end up like I did. I am also studying and putting in a lot of work in the gym with the intention of getting in the ring next year. What does putting in the work mean to you?. - At about time for justice, Our organisation is searching for survivors of institutional child abuse,This applies to anyone who has been affected in boys’ homes, girls’ homes, foster care, docks, churches, schools private or public, church-run institutions, missions and reserves, any sporting teams, after school care, police boys club, and scouts or girls guides. - If you would like to talk more about this. Or you know anyone who might benefit could you please share this post? You can reach me on 0450815402. . https://abouttimeforjustice.com/

25.01.2022 Dear All I AM AN EX POLICE OFFICER WHO EXPOSED RACISM TOWARDS ABORIGINALS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. BELOW IS MY ORIGINAL POST AND IT REACHED THOUSANDS AND ROCKE...D THE BOAT. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH. I AM REQUESTING EVERY SINGLE PERSON TO SHARE THIS. DO WHATEVER YOU DO WITH IT PLEASE SHARE, SHARE AND SHARE. WE WANT IT TO REACH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. PLEASE SHARE SHARE SHARE I worked as a police officer in Western Australia Police between 2004 and 2012. I witnessed systematic racism towards Aboriginal people and this is what I witnessed. In my policing career, I had many encounters with aboriginals when I was working in Perth Police Station. There were about 50 or 60 Aboriginal people around the city of Perth that were homeless, staying in parks around the city. At the very beginning as a probationer police officer, you mainly watch and learn from your senior officer. At first, I considered the treatment of the aboriginals by other senior officers as individual cases. However, these examples were so many; I later realized it was actually the general norm. Before I tell you what I witnessed about Aboriginals, I would like to say that I am not coming from Aboriginal heritage; I am just a human with conscious. However, I just could not ignore the things I saw anymore. The first thing I witnessed was the senior officers making racist comments about aboriginals to manipulate the junior officers’ opinion about them. The things they used to say about Aboriginals were more of a brainwashing of young constables and it was full of hatred. The police officers blame the Aboriginals for not keeping up with the rest of the population especially with Anglo- Australians. The constant bad mouthing about aboriginals is so rife that it was acceptable to say anything about them. There was no repercussions for anything racist said about aboriginals. I included some of the comments that were made by Anglo-Australians about Aboriginals. There are a lot more examples than the ones I provided. I could only write as much as I could remember. The usual comments were They are the lowest race on earth, Look what they do, they say this is our land look at the way they treat it. They are animals, They are feral They are the most backwards race on earth They are rats, cockroaches etc. They were also referred to as boongs, coons, niggers, and abos. According to senior officers, they had to be locked up all the time and the way we were supposed to do this was explained to me as arcing them up and getting them off the street. Therefore, this process takes place like this: First, a copper approaches them and starts asking their names without a reason or say provocative things towards them and as soon as they raise their voice, they find themselves in the back of the van. Some aboriginals usually were saying things as this is my land, you can’t do this to me etc. and the response was No it is not your land it is ours now, we conquered it, or it is too late we own it now. This was usually more than enough to arc them up which would result in them being arrested. I saw some coppers removing their nametags before approaching them and arcing them up and locking them up and then they brag about how they took them off the streets. There was also a minimum number of arrest requirement from the police officers as part of their performance indicator. So the more arrest you had the more valuable you were before the boss’s eyes. This led to arrest competition between the officers. The easier way to increase the arrest numbers were to go and pick on aboriginals, as they were easy target. Some officers even used this as a way of getting extra overtime by just arresting an aboriginal close to the end of their shift so they would stay on overtime and get overtime penalty etc. When constable D.C took off his nametag and arced up an aboriginal, I criticized him for this and his response was This is how we keep the streets clean. If a police officer were in need of an arrest, they would go and find an aboriginal, arc them up and lock them up. It is a very easy target for them who would not challenge them in court and or make complaints etc. The coppers also know Aboriginals will not challenge them in court because they will not be remembering anything about the incident, as these people are homeless, usually intoxicated and they are at a point where they gave up fighting. ALS (Aboriginal Legal Services) cannot help them in court because they do not have any evidence to defend the Noongars, as they do not recall anything about the incident. Another tactic used was some coppers get to know these people (they call them locals or abos). As soon as they see them in the city, they just give them a move on notice for no reason, watch them on the camera, and arrest them after a few minutes if they have not left the area for breaching a move on notice. The move on notice has to be given for a reason. However, the coppers just tick the box where it says disorderly even though that person was simply walking in the street. I included some of the racist comments made by coppers towards Aboriginals below. 1) I was going through a traffic crash file about a six or 7-year-old child and his uncle who were both Aboriginals. The uncle was riding a motorbike with the nephew who was sitting in front of him with no helmet. He was going very fast and hit something and the nephew was launched of the bike and hit his head on a metal pole. He sustained life-threatening injuries. When I read the file, I said to then First Class Constable B.L. from Major Crash Investigation, who was running the file. What sort of uncle is he? He was wearing a helmet but didn’t put one on his nephew and caused the little child life-threatening injuries. B. said. Don’t worry about it mate he is just a coon. I think that child died soon after this. To this day, I still remember the moment when Constable B.L. said these words with no emotion on his face. That moment is engraved in my head and I don’t think it will ever go away. 2) During a training, detective first class constable N.W. stunned the entire class when she said. We should have killed all the Aboriginals here in WA like in Tasmania She then had a loud evil laugh afterwards. The worrying thing is this person used to be a teacher. 3) A member of one of the known Aboriginal families in the Perth region is Senior Constable A.K is. On an occasion, Senior Constable J.C. called him Black N.....Cunt in front of numerous coppers. Although there was some senior rank officers around, none of them even felt the need to do anything about this. There was no action taken against Senior Constable J.C. 4) On another occasion one of the officers said this to prove that he was not racist and loves multiculturalism etc... I like every race on earth except the boongs mate I absolutely despise them I would fuck women from any race except boongs. 5) On an occasion then first class constable M.B. said, They are our pets we look after them. They are a pet nation. 6) About six o’clock on a Sunday morning an Aboriginal woman was walking on the footpath in James Street, Northbridge. The street cleaning machine came from behind and hit her. Because of the impact, she lost her balance and tripped over. The machine then sucked the woman inside. All the coppers were laughing and one of the comments was even the machine knows what‘s dirt and what isn’t 7) Police officers seize the paints or any other solvents they find when they see the Aboriginals sniffing it. On one occasion, a copper took the paint bottles off the Aboriginal person but in the process, some of the paint was spilled on the copper’s shoes. First Class Constable K.H saw this and said. Hey, you better go and clean your shoes quickly otherwise there will be boongs all over your feet sniffing the paint. followed by a laugh afterwards. This happened right next to the information centre in Murray Street Mall where the member of public and tourists can easily hear. 8) One day, one of the Aboriginal people that Constable N.S often dealt with was found dead in the street and N.S. took a photo of him from close shot. The name of the deceased person is Morgan Bropho. Around this time, the police commissioner started a new initiative where officers could choose their own wallpaper on the computers to personalize the work place to increase the motivation etc. Most coppers put a family photo or a nature photo they liked, except N.S. Instead, N.S put Morgan Bropho’s dead photo on his computer where everybody could see it as it was in an open plan office. He did not just put his photo on the computer, he was also saying to people one down, one gone as if it was a victory won by him against an enemy. This person served in the British Army for almost 20 years and he was stuck with the understanding that the Aboriginals were enemies. When he said, One down, one gone etc. It just reminded me of the history of Australia where the British were rewarded per head for killing Aboriginals. Probably, it was too sensitive of N.S. to think that there were some Aboriginal police officers in Perth Police Station where they could see the photo of a deceased Aboriginal and it was unacceptable to see the photo of a deceased person for them. Morgan passed away on 16/07/2008 and N.S put his dead photo on his computer a couple of days after this date. 9) In every police station there is a book called an Occurrence Book. Every arrest, handcuffing, Juvenile Cautions etc. are put in this book. I heard some Sergeants talking In good all days they had things like two natives shot dead, one native killed in occurrence books and that was it but now we put trivial things in them. 10) A Sergeant was walking around the office saying out loud to his team, We have to make the CBD (the city centre) Abo free zone, Boong free zone This was happening in Perth Police Station where there were about 10 teams open space style office with a lot of officers etc. 11) The back of the police wagon inside has no seatbelt or anything installed. It has only some metal seats with sharp corners. Some of the police officers used to purposely brake or drive erratically when there was a handcuffed Aboriginal at the back inside the wagon causing the person thrown from one end to another end hitting his body, face etc. Then they would say things to the arrestee things like Oops sorry How did you like that Did it hurt by looking in the rear view mirror and chuckling at the same time. 12) Once Constable A.H. arrested this Aboriginal person for literally nothing and took him to the lock up. The lockup did not accept him as he had injuries. He then took him back to the van and drove around and around in a hot summer and just threw him out of the van in the middle of a car park instead of taking him to the hospital as per our duty of care. 13) One of the officers was dealing with an Aboriginal person and when he was finished, he came to the Camera Room where everything was watched. This female officer was joking around with the officer who dealt with the Aboriginal person and the female officer bit the male officer’s wrist as part of the joke and as soon as she did, she said, Yuck, you touched a black fella, I better wash my mouth 14) I was with Mounted Section training for a riot and I was playing the role of police officer stranded by myself. The other group of police officers were the protestor and one of them kept shouting, You can’t touch me, my cuz is an APLO (Aboriginal Police Liaison Officer), he kept repeating the same thing during the entire training. Obviously, he was trying to belittle the APLOs. 15) During a conversation, Senior Constable M.S said. Aboriginals are the lowest race in the world mate, they fuck their own sister and mother. That is not a problem for them. 16) Sergeant L.H texted his team members on Christmas saying" Make this Christmas white, kill an ABO" 17) I bought a music CD in Sydney from aboriginal artists which they merged didgeridoo with techno music. I went to NZ from there and travelled all around it and I played their CD all the time. When I came back to Perth I mentioned about the music and what they did with didgeridoo and it was so cool etc. to my Sergeant. He then said with disgusted face expression " don't you bring boong music here mate" 18) Senior Constable S.W said to me and a white officer " I recently found out I am some percentage of Aboriginal" The white officer said. " Great, you can claim all those benefits now" These are some of the things I witnessed. The culture in WA police is unfortunately based on a vicious cycle. It is based on making as many arrests as possible to get promotion and look good for the bosses. This leads to arresting Aboriginals for the reasons I explained above. The general sentiment in WAPOL is so desensitized towards Aboriginals that they are not even seen as humans anymore. The exact same situation with a white person can end up as Have a nice day or a warning etc. whilst it ends up violent arrest and abuse of power. This should end. Many things have to change. Otherwise, business as usual, things will only get worse and this is bad for all of us. We do not have to like each other but we have to respect each other.

16.01.2022 What does abuse mean to you? Abuse can come in many different forms mental, physical and sexual. Unfortunately not knowing how to deal with abuse can also have ...many other effects. Mental health issues, health issues, drug addictions, alcohol addictions, prison sentences, lost relationships been confused about your sexuality. The list can go on, and unfortunately unless you address the issues, you could end up in a terrible place. - - For my self I know that I struggled with a lot of these issues. It can be tough to tell your story, and I think many survivors would agree with this. When I told my story, it was such extraordinary relief, and I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I was scared and terrified to tell my story, but with the help of good people around me and listening to podcasts like this. fortunately these memories and thoughts are getting easier to deal with. - - If you have been through the abuse, I would highly encourage you to first listen to this podcast and then secondly follow both of these legends. Lewis Howes is a survivor of child sexual abuse. He has also written a book that I have not yet read. In the podcast, He talks about his abuse and the effects it had on his life. It is a terrific tool, and I won't give to much away, but please do your self a favour, and tune in. Even if you have not gone through the abuse, there is plenty of value FOR FREE! See more

We acknowledge the Court’s decision, but also share the bitter disappointment that many survivors of sexual abuse will be feeling today. We share those sentiments and we stand by those survivors today. The battle may not yet be won, but it is far from lost. - George Pell is today a free man. - However, the Voice of a Survivor, alongside all organisations who work on behalf on survivors, stand behind everyone in our nation affected by the horror of child abuse. - The fight for justice continues. - If you would like to make contact please call 0450815402 See more

06.01.2022 I was raised in a small country town, I had a great life growing up. I grew up with my father mother and two younger brothers. We had a very loving family home,... When I was very young, I suffered abuse in an institution. At the time, I didn't really know what had happened. As I got older, it started to affect me in many different ways. I started drinking and taking drugs, at the time, I was having fun. I didn't really understand. I was trying to block what had happened to me all them years ago. As I got older, I started getting caught up in different crowds. Eventually, I joined a gang, in many different ways, this felt like family and home away from home. I started getting caught up in some pretty serious stuff. Unforatunelty I found my self getting charged with some severe offences, I ended up in jail to serve a sixteen and a half year sentence. The goal was no fun and a big Waste of time. You learn your lesson, I was worried about my kids growing up with no father to guide them. I got on the drugs on the inside, they helped to block out the pain. At the same time, they sent me crazy, so I stopped and done my time. While I was in jail I lost nearly everything, my house, my family, my possessions, all the things that I had earned from doing from what I thought at the time was cool and quick easy earn, how I was so wrong. One of the most challenging times, while I was in jail, was when I lost my father rip Weseley Bruce Little. I tried to go to the funeral, but the screws wouldn't let me attend. I spent half of my life out of jail taking drugs to block out the pain as I am survivor, we will do our best to help all survivors. I have lived experience, and I know how challenging it is to talk about our experiences, I am healing, and I am out of jail with my three kids. They are all growing up; I am proud of them all, I have generous, loving support from my wonderful family. If you would like to talk more about this.
