That's according to a leaked report from the state prosecutor in the Northern Territories of Australia. It details horrific levels of sexual abuse in remote, including the rape of a baby.

We're hoping to have a live link up with an Australian radio station on Thursday's show. We want to know what people are saying about this in Australia? What do you make of the comments of the crown prosecutor in the Northern Territories, Dr Nanette Rogers, who says there's a culture of fear in Aboriginal communities stopping people reporting these crimes to the police? Leave us your thoughts.
