An Australian man has been charged with incest after he allegedly raped his daughter almost daily and fathered her four children over a 30-year period.
The man, who has been dubbed “Australia’s Fritzl” after the notorious Austrian incest case, allegedly began raping his daughter in the 1970s when she was just 11 years old, and had threatened her with violence if she ever revealed the abuse.The four children in this case were all born with major defects.
I saw this story in one of our broadsheets and mention it only because it was tucked away on page nine, Shouldn’t this be front page, are we so de-sensitized to these types of crime that it warrants a page nine, personally as a normal minded parent I am horrified by this story, and would imagine that a great majority of our population would be so to, so how is it on page nine when the front page lead story is about Oil traders dumping waste in the Ocean.
Sadly this says more about our society than it does about the Newspaper in question.
