59. To Aboriginal leader William Brin, Queensland, 2002: “Do you still throw spears at each other?”
Wonderful how the media beat things up, it's quite a fair question, judges do at times order that Aboriginals be subject to tribal justice, which may involve spearing in a leg. The following chap was going to be speared five times in each leg after he had served 15 years in the nick for rape and manslaughter.
