Oh yes, definitely - I think it's just the scale of this which is, if possible, more horrifying.

I also think it's hugely disturbing that the newspapers have been able to publish the names of those involved.

it would be possible in Brazil, Canada, Russia, the US...for us folk from a small European island nation where there is less land..it seems incredible..

They haven't. They've given them names to protect their identities

Thank goodness for that, I couldn't understand why any names had been used.

Just in case anyone thinks I have comprehension issues, I read a different article to the one posted by sonly, which didn't have the following information:

'The NSW Children's Court has taken the rare step of publishing its judgment of actions taken to remove children from the Colt family (a court-appointed pseudonym to protect identification of minors).'

With so many problems resulting from incest, makes me wonder why so many intelligent people believe we all descended from Adam and Eve, and didn't evolve.

Where is the line between being 'well bred'..(silly word) and 'in bred'.
who's the favourite?

I have read about this extended family on line in the Daily Mail for the past three days ( huge article). As yet I have not read anything in the Brisbane's Courier Mail or heard anything on the news. Have I missed the news items on the TV or in the press or has it not been reported in Australia ?

Yep its certainly been on the ABC website and News.com - The Courier Mail is Brisbane based so less likely to report it than Sydney papers but it did have links online to the story.

There's certainly less 'out there' here than there is in the DM. No idea why they have taken it on board so much, but they're a law unto themselves Who knows why they print the majority of what they do.
