Yeah I thought she was only Maori at first, think I said as much in my earlier posts too, but then I realised people on almost every Aboriginal/Indigenous FB group say she has Murri one side of her family? I'm not sure which side & I can't remember where I first saw it mentioned to post links, but it was back at the start of the year when I was barely on MDS. Whatever I saw back then made me pretty sure it was true.
That said though, after I posted I got worried I'd mixed up kids, so I went to check & edit the post if needed. She's on every major public Aboriginal pg & a hell of alot of private ones again with references to GMAR etc - so they all must've seen whatever it was I saw - & I
think that what I saw was mob on my friendlist from QLD who know the family.
There is a possibility it's true because of the NZ deportations you mentioned. I'm assuming her mum at least must've been born in Australia & that's why she
hasn't copped a "501" - because it really doesn't take much at all to do it (if you're Maori) & she should've gone straight to Immigration Detention after she was released - if she was born in NZ. People have ended up there for a lot less
I'll try & get confirmation either way though & fix the posts asap if it's wrong
(& yeah, this is O/T but the deportations we're talking about are really fukking gross. There's some background on it here if anyone's interested. There's already been at least one family who lost their Dad through a death in custody because of this shit

I wish we could see real numbers on how many white NZers are being deported compared to Maoris, Tongans & Samoans, because knowing Australian govts, they'll sacrifice a handful of token white people to point at say "Look! A white person! So we
can't be racist" - it's an old trick & it still works)
& re what you were saying about child protection in QLD. The boarding school referred to in this article is in my hometown - Campbelltown, where the Tyrell washing machine man is accused of historical offences.
It's a school where John Marsden, the one-time "flamboyant" law society president (once "falsely" accused of violent child sexual abuse by one of Anita Cobby's killers) had free run of the place - just like Jimmy Saville.
There were a lot of stories shared by teens in Campbelltown back then. A lot more by streetkids - I knew people from both groups.
It makes me wonder now as an adult, about those inexplicably violent rape/torture murders that happened back then - Anita Cobby & Janine Balding. Both committed by groups of streetkids known to work The Wall in Darlinghurst (also "rumoured" to be a Marsden haunt). There's no doubt Brett O'Connor knew Marsden. They had the run of St Greg's at the same time.
