The Rape of Australian Innocence
Trigger Warning: This is not a pleasant story and there is not a happy ending. It involves sexual abuse committed by a powerful man against the most vulnerable people in society.
At face value, the Australian people are an active and vocal group in favour of social justice causes. Significant time and energy is spent on these causes and despite some belief to the contrary, the country has a 200 year history of faithfully trying to do their best towards social justice causes, developing a long history of well-intentioned attempts despite often poor results.
Of particular note for Australians is the plight of the local indigenous people. Although there is plenty of evidence of many tragic events between the cultural groups as well as acts of murderers and monsters, Australia has also always been a significant and dedicated effort to bridging the cultural gap between (mostly) European colonisers and the local Indigenous people. This is evident in the intentions of (often failed) government policy and supportive public commentary such as newspaper articles, official writing and letters to the editor.
Indigenous Australians were left particularly vulnerable to a rapidly changing landscape in Australia with the arrival of European culture providing a stark difference to the way earlier Australians were used to things.
Today, this has left remote communities with significant challenges that include most types of social issues and a large government structure in the Northern Territory dedicated to working with these communities to solve their problems. Of course there is a constant problem of the projection of the values, ideas and mindset of cosmopolitan Australians and the cultural disconnect between these rural communities. There are no, and have been no easy answers (and now of course with the concept of there being ‘Question: Answer’ we indulge another one of these types of projections.)
That Government structure included a prolific and dangerous pedophile, Bob Collins.
The former honourable Bob Collins, AO was an dangerous homosexual pedophile predator who preyed on the most vulnerable people in Australia, indigenous children in remote communities. Bob was also an Australian Federal Labour Politician and a recipient of official honours — on Australia Day in 2004, Bob was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to the Northern Territory and Indigenous Rights.
Just in case there is a (normal, natural) problem with processing that information. Bob Collins raped vulnerable Indigenous Children and is still officially recognised in Australia as being given an official honour for services to Indigenous Rights.
After a 30 year career of serious abuse of the most vulnerable people in Australia, of the most despicable, degenerate behaviour more extreme than we have seen recently with Jeffrey Epstein, a proper investigation finally began into his disturbing history. Unfortunately, when he found out about the investigation and contemplating impending arrest, Bob died like the coward he was in life, attempting suicide 3 times, where the third was the charm.
Bob Collins was a Federal Labour Politician, bringing the issue of institutional abuse of power into question. Australia very recently and famously completed a ‘Royal Commission into the Institutional Abuse of Children’, with a focus on the Catholic church.
There is every reason to believe that the former Honourable Bob Collins, AO could be the most prolific pedophile rapist in Australia history however it has never been properly investigated.
Is the reason why he has not been examined properly, why there has not been a proper investigation into his crimes, which certainly number far more than what he was charged with, of the total lack of care for the individuals and communities that he ravaged, because of institutional power?
Is it because of the relative lack of power of his victims?
We must answer the question of Why does Bob still have his title from the Australian people? He received it during the year that he was being investigated. Is that not suspicious?
Why is he still honoured on government websites?
Why is his name still on plaques in the Northern Territories Parliament House?
How did a Federal Australian Politician manage to avoid being thoroughly examined during a Royal Commission investigation to institutional responses to child abuse in Australia?
Another Labour politician in Darwin, Jane Aagard upheld the decision to keep his portrait hanging in Parliament House, after a child sex abuse victim, Liberal Politician John Elferink drew attention to it in 2009. Of course, Bob had served in government for two federal Australian Labour hero’s, Bob Hawke and Paul Keating.
And the man received a State Funeral, under investigation for child sex abuse
And with what is possibly the single worst case of Institutional Abuse of the most vulnerable children in Australia, with no protection or justice for many victims (as well as known 2nd order victims), the monster behind the abuse continues to be gifted titles by the Australian public.
So by the time the police had found 54 child pornography images on his computer after his first suicide attempt, 3 to 7 victims had come forward to police, with 3 agreeing to make official statements. Of those victims, one of them talked about a disturbing ritual that included his description of Bob as a ‘spider in the web’ to describe how he was trapped in a room with the animal, raped, showered, told to put on a sarong and pose for a polaroid photograph to join the album which he described as potentially including hundreds of white, Asian and mostly indigenous children that had suffered the same ritual. Local anecdotes from the Northern Territory suggest that local police were aware of this from at least 1999 (he had been convicted of similar in the 70’s) and that Bob Collins himself knew that he could not go back to certain Indigenous communities because he would be killed on sight.
If we are going to face up to the reality of social justice we must confront the most sickening, damaging and triggering realities of what that means. In this case, one of his victims only came forward after sexually abusing his own children in the same violent style as Collins had done to him, Collins disgusting hand reaching out from the grave. And the report included the fact that Bob Collins had abused the man as part of a group. What other animals has Bob left behind who are yet to be discovered, who are still accumulating victims?

Why has this never been properly investigated?
Not long ago, a young indigenous man was tragically killed by Northern Territory police while acting violently in a remote community. The policeman has been charged with murder as part of an effort to take justice seriously in remote locations and for disadvantaged groups.
The Chief Minister, Michael Gunner is a Labour politician who is very much a man of ‘progressive’ values, however his own party previously upheld the honour of Bob Collins in 2009.
