Challenge: write the perfect intro to a story from The Australian.

CORRUPT state premiers have stolen more than $3 billion meant for rebuilding Aboriginal communities, as well as dropping charges against tribal elders who were arrested for raping children.

The Oz loves a good corrupt state pollie. They will go big on them all the time. And they have rightfully taken the credit for the Aboriginal intervention announced last year. They were the ones who highlighted the appalling state of Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory and South Australia, and how the state and territory governments had failed to act on damning reports on the problems. The Oz also got stuck into the horrific and systemic sexual abuse of children in those communities, as well as how courts were letting the perpetrators get away with it. The intervention caused a lot of controversy, but attracted bi-partisan support in Parliament. It was a rare example of central planning from the Howard conservative government, which maintained the liberal commitment to market solutions for the majority of its 11 years.
