...mean, come on fellow Chatrouletters. No, I do not want to see some greasy wife-beater-wearing man-animal playing with himself every third time I press the “Next” button. No, I do not want to get paired up with some prepubescent munchkin who claims that he happens to go to Harvard...

In 2007, the Northern Territory government released a report titled "Little Children Are Sacred," which revealed appalling statistics about rife sexual abuse of children in remote Aboriginal communities. The report was immediately picked up by the press and politicians alike and became the catalyst for the widely contested Northern Territory intervention - a system by which the federal government imposed nine measures upon indigenous Australians living in remote communities, including alcohol restrictions and pornography filters on publicly funded computers...
