Here is a challenge to The Project team; go live in the Alice for a year and then tell me what you think will solve the issue. I guarantee that if gangs of kids (of any color) were running rampant through the streets of YOUR comfortable inner city suburb, night after night, stealing your cars, breaking into your house, taking a dump on your lawn, threatening you with violence you'd be the first to demand more police action. I lived there in the 90's and again in the early 2000's, and despite the tens of millions of dollars pumped into community groups on government cheques, NOTHING has changed and in fact has gotten worse. As far as "respecting the autonomy" of the individual, I care a lot more more about the safety and welfare of the women and kids who suffer from abuse night after night. Listen to the words of the Arrente Aunties instead of the bleeding hearts from our cities and Canberra if you want the solution.

I've lived in the Kimberley for nearly 4 years.....currently in Halls Creek, it's the same over here, I've worked in the education department and now in the hospital, I see this sort of thing regularly, there is no easy answer or quick fix to this
Your comfortable inner-city neighborhood? Remember you stole that neighborhood from them and you expect them to be civil?
@@moneygrowz Please share with me how I (as in, me personally) stole their neighboood from them?
What's amazing is the youth, who claim, it's not safe to be home, make it unsafe for everyone else to be on the street
Not about race ,100% about family structure
I am sick of hearing about the poor kids and I used to be one of them but in my day if you did something wrong you were arrested and sent to a boys home or if you were older you went to jail l don’t care how old they are if they commit crimes they should be locked up it’s time for judges and politicians stand up for the good people in this country
When they put a lot of restrictions on in one town people tend to migrate elsewhere.we ve seen it in the kimberly.they don't just move to nearby towns they move to the big cities like Perth.
Guess what - its got nothing to do with race. It's all about culture. The family culture with Alice's indigenous people has broken down. These kids are our future and need our support.
Race differences exist, it's naive and ignorant to deny that. A big part of problems in multicultural societies is to not acknowledge difference in IQ, alcohol tolerance etc. Different peoples need different solutions to their respective community issue. Culture is of course playing a part as well, but it is not the sole reason. This is why a homogeneous population works better than a mixed race society. Read "the bell curve" or just think logically.
The Lady in the Pink singlet is 100% spot on Let the Elders Bring Back Tribal Lor
The elders are often drunk. The kids care not for their direction! Move the people where they can be gainfully employed like a fruit picking zone.
@@aidanbutcher8817 I agree! I spent only 6 months there & one Elder I met only cared about what car, house, money & all the other handouts he could his hands on. Put a camera in front of him & acts like a upstanding saint. And unfortunately this sets up generations of gimme gimmies. Its starts & ends with the adults. Not to mention the lucrative juicy government positions & contracts created for all the white fat cats that they give themselves & their buddies up there. It's a bloody joke!
That was a balanced report. Something that we should of gotten from our public broadcaster
We need a circuit breaker here in Alice. The youth workers are telling you straight. The people of Alice told you straight. We love our town. LOVE it. This is a poverty and disfunction issue. The kids need to be safe. We need a safe place for them to go to. And Benedict is a really shy bloke, BTW.
People breed what they can’t feed! That’s the issue. The baby bonus did it. Plus the UN wants their numbers boosted because they are 3% of population but are massively over represented in Gaol.
Welfare economy now Yalara has an airport that’s diverted the tourism away from the place. Welfare is big!
@@aidanbutcher8817 Yalara??
@@Nettlewitch the kids need guns not rocks
@@Nettlewitch its a place near uluru
@@aletheapetersen2976 The name of the place YULARA, not "yalara".
Make that aboriginal woman in blue the minister for aboriginal affairs.
Can they bring in the Elders - past, present and emerging? They sound very wise. Every time I catch a Qantas or Jetstar flight I have to hear about them.
haha
I think that Alice Springs over time will just become another Wadeye . People who own local businesses, will pull up stumps and say that enough is enough! That causes a large financial cost for them to relocate and it will just leave "Alice" as a town camp. I think that Australia should cecede the top part of WA, NT and QLD to Indonesia (excluding mining rights). Twenty strokes of the rotan would provide a generational correction!
It's not government at fault.its respect at home.perants have to take controle.elders should take controle.
Call the army in
Show them what consciousness are. Tough justice.
Turn on cc please!
Kids have been stirred up to become angry and chaotic
Real power has to be given to the leaders with a complex myriad mix of interventions that are guided and regulated by the leaders. Then they have to be listened to as to what they want to give their kids for the future and supplied by the government , then enforced by the leaders with accountability ; just like their tribal customs dictate. It's a complicated issue that needs long term and short term goals.
Where's Albo?
Interesting how in these Alice Springs crime video's, alcohol is is referred to as sum kind of self aware villain.
Wen I went to rehab for alcohol and drug abuse, we were taught that being drunk was no excuse and that everything bad that we did was our fault because we chose to take a drink.
Maby throwing money at th problem isn't th answer and th word 'disenfranchised' should be changed with 'lack of accountability'?!
Or am I being too "racist"? 🤔🙄😒
You think it's a coincidence that the violence from a certain group of people in society escalated this much when alcohol was made available? No, it's a sign of great dissatisfacion with how they are being treated. Alcohol doesn't automatically make people violent, the underlying anger has to be there in the first place.
"Throwing money at the problem" IS part of the solution, IF it is money well spent. Like on actually making an healthy community and giving the citizens recreational opportunities.
maybe police should deal with this the old way
He didnt say call cops if you see a aboriginal kid. He said call in a wellfare check if you see kids that should be at school.
Lord of the flies William golding
There should be a temporary curfew from 9pm to 6am.
Not until the kids have somewhere safe to be. They’re on the streets because it’s much safer than being at home. In the meantime I’m all for the police, health, education sectors to open kid/teen/young adult hang out spaces every night, staffed adequately by black & white fella, with different activities, skills, ways of entertainment. Make it appealing, and it keeps them safe for now.
Literalmente latam
The ban were necessary and should not have been removed.. A gradual opt out maybe and in a limited capacity, maybe. These people have the ability to make a choice, and like anyone else they can choose good behavior or bad behavior. Time they have a long hard look in the mirror and choose good behavior I think.
When you say these peoples what do you Actually mean I thought we were all Australians Here ?
Saying “these people” sounds a very prejudiced comment, like “Us and Them” like they are inferior to you 😳 It’s extremely difficult for anyone to act rational and always be of good behaviour when many are born with a brain injury (FASD) or an alcoholic.
How about blaming the Government too for creating this societal problem, through white man forced assimilation policy in the 50’s/60’s and all the well paid Government ministers and social service providers on my tax payer dollars, who have done absolutely nothing realistic to deliver appropriate services to fix these ongoing issues after all these years.
It obviously appears the continual neglect and failings of Aboriginal Australians is Governments strategy of keeping themselves relevant and employed.
@@TheUleenamurray These people meaning the people prone to bad behavior in Alice Springs. Is it really that hard to understand the topic and point of focus of the video?
And yes all Australians, good behavior and bad behavior. Get it now?
Talk to the Elders...then enforce what they say.....
Like the thugs here in the US, they have no fear!
Stolen generation kids are offered 100k compensation which is less than what those taxpayers are considering requesting for some very tough business years. Amazing how they feel it’s their right to be compensated yet stolen gen babies are offered an insulting amount of 100k for having their whole family, lives and identity stolen from them. Their issues run their entire lives and as the wife of a stolen gen baby, I would love to sue for my pain and suffering too. For that of my kids. There doesn’t seem to be any real recognition from the govt for its wrongs and damage caused. They are both such enormous issues and issues are relative to each person’s circumstance. Perhaps the taxpayers should measure their deserving level of compensation relative to the 100k scale that stolen generations are being told they are deserving of for all they have lost. If 100k is the maximum amount per claim then the scale would be very interesting and rather affordable for the govt to use. I don’t wish for any of the Alice Community to suffer however the dollars being suggested just upset me. I hope once kids are back at school things can settle down and real change can be made to improve everyone’s lives.
😟😓😢🖤💛❤️
6:07 "Impoverished"? These people get more money than other people, and are given homes better than I have to live in!
Watch "In my Blood it Runs"
@@traceyholt8223 And what exactly is important in this video in relation to my comment?
Here we go again with “These People” like they’re specimens 😂
Not sure what your dribbling on about, as I know many Aboriginal people who worked hard all their life, paid taxes, never received any welfare and bought and paid for their own home and cars with absolutely no help or hand up from the Government. Stop being so prejudice and lumping all Aboriginals as bludgers getting Government handouts. You do know there’s more non-indigenous Australians dependant on Centrelink and handouts in this country.
Geez mate you must be living in a skip bin. I’m grateful to say that a colour bond donga with a concrete floor, no aircon or creature comforts, & metal bars instead of windows is not better than the place I live. If you work hard you can escape the poverty you’re living in. Good luck
Over 30 billion last year. On about 6 to 7 hundred thousand people, it's a joke.
Unevolved, Feral and Victimhood mentality. Lawless and lack of discipline.
impoverished????? you forgot to mention 30 billion plus each year that gets poured into that by tax payers
Where did you get that figure from? Any source?
Aboriginal encampments dont seem that poverty stricken to me ....seem ok ...seen white homeless in Europe living in worse conditions..... drunken drug convict mentality ... I have strict white mother and brown Indian father so can instinctively see both perspectives .....suggest both kids go on a fun native plant identification trip ( supervised ) to A.S. desert park .as happens with deprived white kids here in England.......plus Cricket.including ladies.
Maybe we should have a nation wide tax on alcohol to fund education, support, and treatment of it's negative effects. This should moderate consumption and mitigate the damage.
Google this ~ Why is alcohol taxed so heavily Australia?
@@againandagainau I used to live in Singapore so....... I don't think alcohol is taxed heavily at all.
Lots of people drink plenty without thinking the price of booze is too high.
@@zen1647 but should we all have to pay more just because of a small group of people? We are taxed thru the teeth in Australia already, and
Australia spend over 30 billion last year on indigenous peoples, you have to stop the spending at some point.
@@paulsnow1289Well if you don't like it you can always go back to England
@@superjohnnygamble6328 😂😂 yea because my family came from England 🤦
Yawn . What a great culture
It's racist to ban them from practising their own tribal law, which I understand can be quite effective.
Still won't talk with me ? :)
The Critics of the Voice to Parliament across Australia are in no way starting a culture war.
You Mr. Prime Minister are the one who
is starting the culture war if a culture war is starting at all in Australia.
In your National Cabinet room you have three flags posted in a display for to all see across all of the media.
Now Mr. Albanese kindly visit those three flags in your National Cabinet room and immediately uproot the aboriginal identity flag posted in the middle of the flag assembly wherein the Australian flag has been outcasted to left in that flag assembly.
The middle position in a flag assembly and especially in the Australian peoples parliament is the command position only for the Australian Flag and no other flag has the power or status to usurp the Australian Flag 🇦🇺 from being posted in the middle position in a flag assembly.
The Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islands flag are only citizens flags.
These two flags are not formal flags.
These two flags don’t even have a formal right to be posted in the parliament but are both unreservedly welcomed into the parliament as a mark of respect.
The aboriginal citizens identity flag has no
legal right or status to usurp the middle position of the Australian flag in the Australian parliament.
Now Mr. Albanese. Get moving and place the Australian flag back into its command position in every flag assembly posted throughout the Australian parliament.
And be reminded that you are the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia and are definitely not the Prime Minister of the Republic of Australia which does not exist.
Mr.Treasurer! You are next because you are doing exactly the same thing with the assembly of your three flags in your treasurer’s office.
🇦🇺🦘
You're incredibly fragile
wow 😆
They should be looking for work the kids need strong discipline by the elders
And u ausies gave us south Africans hell in 70s.
Well said. Australians are hypocrites. I am Australian and we are being destroyed. It's payback for what we did to South Africa.
Agree people in glasshouses shouldn't through stones
The ‘Stolen Generation’ mostly didn’t turn out as rabidly anti-social as these Gens……😉
They’re the grandparents of this gen
White man to rescue again hey. What’s the scam this time
I agree! White people should leave and let the natives have it, if they don’t give a f@&k why should we!
@@jacobelliott9944 great experiment, give Alice Springs back to the original indigenous land owners and everyone else leaves. See how long the town survives without white "invaders" and white money...
A country that started with criminals, still the same.
The Aboriginal people are the most beautiful people on Earth. They lived in harmony with the Land for forty to seventy THOUSAND years. There is a yearning. It hums in their limbs for the grasslands, the mountain ranges, the pristine waters, the big turtle and the special corroboree. This longing creates a whirlwind of dysfunction.
Furthering-- Racism is a need for education.
Hahahahahaha 😂🤣🤸
Segregation is the solution
Its the new age that is better than the old age who are backward and dislike our new age and its us the new age that is better than any old age
Take the welfare off any one who's children are in trouble,helps in both area's.
am forever nortesideing thats why this scrapas hiding
