Rejected from police academy for not being aboriginal!

[STINKY NINJA]

My good friends niece was rejected from perths police academy today because they are only taking aboriginal cadets,all the ads you see on tv about being desperate for coppers and shes been rejected for having the wrong colour skin.
What are your thoughts?
I think its extremely racist,this poor girl wants to do good and shes been shot down in flames,she is absolutely devastated.
What if the shoe was on the other foot, current affair would be all over it like flies on poo, playing the race card.
Any feedback from coppers would be greatly appreciated to maybe shed light on this subject?
