When legal educator Mililma May arrives at Darwinâs Don Dale Youth Detention Centre to teach 10- to 17-year-olds their legal rights, she often ends up using baby talk. Many of the children she visits are primary school children the same age as her cousins and siblings.
Arriving recently in H-block
, the centreâs high security area, Ms May, who works for the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency
, was approached by a âlittle 11-year-old boyâ holding a frog on his pinky. âHe was like, âMiss, look at this little frogâ. My voice went to baby [voice], and I said, âBubba, where did you find him?â.â
THE Litchfield Motel has turned a complaint over a cheeky slogan for their chicken schnitzels around in the breast way possible, by putting a dollar from every schnitty sold in February towards breast cancer research. The motel staff were initially shocked and saddened when notified of a complaint over a slogan on their bar saying how do you like your breasts , alluding to their schnitzels and parmigianas which are made from chicken breasts. We don t want to offend people but we don t see how a play on words, a pun that relates to chicken breasts and the toppings that go on your parmis has so much of an effect they go to anti-discrimination, Litchfield Motel s Little Ripper Cafe Bar and Bistro manager Roisin McElwee said.
