When Bruce Trevorrow won his landmark case against the state of South Australia, scumbag Andrew Bolt argued that the success of his case actually proved there was no stolen generation. Bolt thus argued that this case would have no wider impact on the issue of the stolen generations.

It’s to happen in the Northern Territory where their is no obstacle to government power in the form […]
