Before he died in November 1984, aged 83, Xavier Herbert gave an interview in central Australia in which, during 3½ hours, he talked of the widespread practice in Australia's north and north-west of what he called "gin rooting", as well as boasting of having been, as a young man in the 1920s, "the biggest gin rooter around". If I've got your attention, and Brendan Nelson's too, the Fairfax group, still controlled at the time by the Fairfax family, bought the interview and published 7000 words of it in two extracts in the now-defunct weekly The National Times in January 1985.

Cannibalism still occurs today in South Africa, not that the PC brigade would want that to become public knowledge... |

- There was a great deal more, much of it very matter-of-fact about the endemic murder of Aboriginal people ("Don't forget, I grew up where blacks were still being killed and children were starving to death. It was the done thing.") and cannibalism of children's bodies ("They couldn't waste them. Couldn't afford to. Too hungry. But they carried the bones of the child around for a long time.")
- Quote :
- "For one thing, I suppose, it was amateurish. I was unknown, it was the depth of the Depression, 1930, and also it was too avant-garde. There were some terrible stories. One particular thing, in the Kimberleys. The pearling industry was established in Broome and the pearlers used to go up into the Kimberley country and steal the young [Aboriginal] gins to work as pearl divers. Of course, they used to rape them, too, and when they got too pregnant they'd chuck them overboard.
Sick degenerates! |
