Saying sorry to Indigenous Australians

[ninwa]

Also, calls for the removal of alcohol from certain rural communities with aboriginal inhabitants was met with outrage by its inhabitants, as it is in fact an incursion on their freedom of choice. This is because alcohol is not illegal! This further rebukes any claim that alcohol is one of the direct causes of child sexual abuse because if proof existed that it was, it would be immediately deemed illegal!

The fact that something is legal does not mean it is harmless. There are so many cases of murder, rape, assault, manslaughter etc. which would not have happened if not for the fact that the offender was under the influence of alcohol.

What about smoking? It's a direct cause of lung cancer. It's not illegal.
