- Australian guy's mother dies
- goes on overseas trip to try to deal with it
- gets roofied in Cambodia and accidentally cracks ATM glass
- arrested at the airport for... damaging ATM
- sent to hell on earth Cambodian prison
- gang raped in prison
- Australian embassy is notified but does nothing
- Australian foreign minister Penny Wong does nothing
- multiple meetings with Australian embassy personnel who also do nothing
- except charge the guy for the privilege of sending him money to bribe the prison and judge
- also his lawyer used part of the money to party with friends in Thailand
Imagine, if you will, that Malaysian-born Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong didn't care to save a white Australian guy stranded in southeast Asia.
This would never have happened in the old times. A guy getting abused like this would have been a stain on the dignity of all Australians.
They didn't just "not go far enough", the Commonwealth actively and deliberately destroyed Rhodesia and S.A. Sargon gives a nice rage-inducing overview of Rhodesia here.
And yeah S.A. even letting black tribes into the country in the first place was their first mistake. Even a north-south territorial split or a federal republic would have been better options than apartheid.
