Humbug (Aboriginal)
Humbug is a term applied to various forms of begging and domestic violence in rural and remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, Australia. The term refers primarily to the practice of demanding money from relatives, often violently. A report in ''The Australian'' described the practice as a regular occurrence, "deeply ingrained in Aboriginal communities".
Humbugging typically takes the form of demands for cash, with wives and the elderly being particular targets. The problem is particularly acute in communities where residents receive money from mining royalties, tourism revenue and artwork sales – prominent victims include artists Emily Kngwarreye and Albert Namatjira. Even victim's crime compensation can be humbugged, in some cases by the criminals themselves.
== Origin ==
The term, vaguely referencing a person who is "stingy", is likely to have been derived from the quote of the Charles Dickens character Ebenezer Scrooge "Bah! Humbug!"
