Let's protect the children!

"We haven't changed our policy in relation to land rights generally. But whatever is needed to be done in the process of establishing a safe society for indigenous children will be done. That is more important to me than anything else. It's more important than any doctrine or philosophy." (Prime Minister John Howard)

Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough likewise believes intervention of this kind only comes once in a generation. "Clearly, in domestic terms, it's the largest intervention I can recall ever in my lifetime," he says. "Can't think of anything else like it. It's the one opportunity to do what people have been crying out for - to repair the damage of years of failure."

I wonder about an unrighteous nation, trying to fix the unrighteous acts of their people.
We as a nation, stole their land, killed their people, raped their women, stole their children, disempowered their law, enslaved their freedom, ruined their culture, polluted their morals, and gave them addictions, etc.

Romans 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
