She won't face any significant penalty, of course

An Aboriginal teenager today will become the first person to face trial on charges laid under Western Australia's new race-hate laws.The 14-year-old girl was one of three Aboriginal girls who allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old non-indigenous woman in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in the WA Goldfields region, in April. All three girls were charged with assault.

The 14-year-old was later additionally charged with making racist slurs, under new racial vilification laws which came into effect last year. She will face trial in the Kalgoorlie Children's Court today. It will be the first time a racial vilification charge will be tested in a WA court.
