living conditions as you reintegrate into society.

What we know about things like prisons is the more contact you have with them, the more likely you are to be caught up in a cycle.

The more times you have contact with it, the more violent your crimes are.

But while we're concentrating on these tough on crime laws, what we're doing is putting people into those conditions that the fact is

worsen the type of offending that we're going to see.

So they're some of the questions that are going to have to be asked as to how this happened, because what happened to this little baby girl was not a failing of her parents.

She was loved.

What happened to her was not a failing of our community.

The alleged perpetrator was released from prison with no eyes on them and nowhere to go.

Yeah, and I think that is one of the concerns that we're hearing from the family, but from Aboriginal people more generally.

Stop blaming us.

Again, this...

How do you even describe it?

You know, I think people are just so tired of banging their heads against the wall.

The conditions on town camps have been known for a very, very long time.

It wasn't the conditions of the town camp that were responsible for what happened in this moment in time.

And often when we start talking about those types of things, we start turning our blame on the people who were victims themselves.

And that is something that we saw with the little children, a sacred report.

It is something that we've seen in all of the inquiries.

And I want to be clear, there have been so many inquiries into Aboriginal people and Aboriginal children.
