It's a very complicated problem. She was raped by aboriginal men and their "Rights of Indigenous Peoples" is what is causing most of the problems. The aboriginal, male leaders have more power than they "should" in this case and the Australian legal system is multi-tiered with "Crown" judges doing political, non-local things, etc. The poor Australians are tangled up in indigenous versus women and children and various other ignorances. They have to prioritize.
