Underclass - a word I started using a few years ago... and one that doesn't get a lot of use, its not very PC but its unambiguous in my eyes.

its a fair bit more PC than 'white trash'.

Scum.
That was a prominent series of incidents in the years immediately proceeding the Cronulla riots that contributed to the general racially based animosity building in Sydney. That then exploded with the infamous day in Cronulla itself, and the retaliatory attacks from car loads of western Sydney Lebanese youths in the nights following.

The Skaf brothers and their accomplices made no secret that the gang rapes were 100% racially motivated. They deliberately were seeking teenage girls of Anglo-Australian appearance and taunted them as to the reason they were being raped was because they are an Anglo-Aussie and hence deserved it.

And it was an insight into how those of the western Sydney Lebanese-Aussie wannabe gangster subculture viewed Anglo-Aussie girls and women.

At Cronulla itself, in the lead up, groups of Lebanese-Aussie youth, with seemingly similar attitudes towards Anglo-Aussie girls (that they are “sluts” and hence are fair game) were routinely and quite prominently and brazenly sexually harassing local Anglo-Aussie girls at the beach of a weekend. In fact, some nasty assaults were carried out by these groups on young men coming to the aid of the harassed girls. In one instance, seriously assaulting local lifeguards.

It all fed the fire. Sure there is no denying that the riots themselves were exploited by more radical far right groups with a more all-encompassing racist agenda. Which led to innocent bystanders who might have looked vaguely non-Anglo being gutlessly and shamefully attacked.

But I found the media - in their cushy inner city bubble - completely missed what had been going on out in the suburbs and the animosity building in the years proceeding it. And it likely still is outside their prism of comprehension. So they went down the lazy, “evil white oppressors” self flagellation narrative, without having any understanding of what had been going on outside the cushy abodes of Ultimo, Crows Nest and Point Piper.

Thoughts on the missing little girl in WA?

Beautiful little kid. I am baffled by it. Cannot get a read at all, regarding what's going on there.

Yeah it's just horrible. .... having watched the exposè on William Tyrrell's disappearance just recently it had me thinking about the absolute filth which exists in society.
Rock spiders and rapists should be burned at the stake imo!

Yeah, I have a little bloke only a year older (and my daughter is 4-5 years older - bit of a gap between our two). And it really lets you feel, just in some small part, how you would react in the shoes of parents of the likes of William Tyrell and Cleo Smith. It would just break me.

Its a horrible situation, has to be either abducted or its was one of the parents. She wouldn't walk off with her sleeping bag and have the sleeping bag not even able to be found.

I was the same, still utterly baffled as to how it happened. Will be fascinating to see how it unfolds. Checking where she was found, it reeks of getting shipped to Asia. Unspeakable evil. Hope this blows the lid of it.

Amazing story, that doesn't end like this normally. Joy beyond belief.

Reeks of being shipped to Asia?

Is this a thing?

With zero knowledge and the old gut feeling thing...... my initial hunch was some sort of retribution on either of her mum, step father or real father and with Cleo having been found in the same country town she lived in.... I'm leaning further towards that.

Yes, whatever the motive, it is someone who knows the parents, and knows their movements, where they go camping etc.

Yes, everything about this seems to suggest that this wasn't just some random paedo. Emotively, that is the conclusion everyone seems to jump to when a child goes missing. But compared to other alternatives, a random abduction is actually a very rare occurrence. Particularly from right under the nose of the parents. Sure, Daniel Morecombe and the Beaumont children were randomly abducted by abhorrent child rapist murderers (Daniel Morecombe proven, Beaumont children highly suspected), but again, entirely different circumstances. It was opportunistic when these children were out and about, away from the watchful eye of parents.

More often than not, crimes against children are by people known to the family.

Mmm, appeared she went willingly with someone she knew or had met, and the family only arrived at the campground the previous evening. Police scrutinised the extended family and that might turn out to be the connection.

Edit: Apparently police have said on Perth radio there is no family connection.

Not sure she went willingly. Her mother gave her a drink of water at 1:30 in the morning, at 6am she was missing. Young children Cleo's age are picked up by their parents while sleeping and very rarely wake up.

Good point. I even shuffled my 10YO daughter across beds the other night (after she had climbed into ours). As I was carrying her, she opened her eyes, appeared to be totally conscious, told me "I'm thirsty and tired" and simply closed her eyes and went back off to sleep as I returned her to her own bed. I asked her over breakfast if she remembered us moving her into her own bed and she had no recollection whatsoever. Kids are funny sometimes. :)
