    I lived in Alice about 25 years ago. It was on the downhill then. I'd never go back. The town was lovely. The day folk are mostly good, but the mobs of first nations youth are bloody scary. I was called so many racist names and given so many threats just because I wouldn't hand over money. What amuses me, in the case of Alice Springs, is racial profiling not a consequence of one group of people acting out? If it was another race acting out, would they be called out and outed, yes.

    I think it is important for people who have no idea about Indigenous communities to understand what is a “dry community”. If you live in a “dry community” , the community and the elders have CHOSEN not to have alcohol. If you live in this type of community you are not supposed to drink, you cannot have alcohol in the community or bring it in. You are not supposed to go out of the community and then go back in, drunk. The way it is being portrayed here, for whatever reason, is very disingenuous. The locals are not telling the full story.

If you gave them a DVD player they would smash it in the middle of the road. Probably took it off the kid who did want it. Twirl their scooters all through the place. Steal things like digeridoo's but then have a war and bring it back to us. Girls would come in screaming and covered in bruises and sit right up the back with me, with a few big hefty men up in front. One big volunteer we had was an ex con so he was great. We also had a preacher who knew Aboriginal elders etc'. I was a musician but good at yelling and getting kids to behave a bit. We also had the kids who would talk to the groups and tell them to settle down, like gang bosses but they were too loosely organised to call them gangs. More like friend groups with enemy groups. One white kid was truly evil all on his own but he also had followers. Some were gentle souls who had to get out of the house for the night. All different, good and bad, even within all races and types.

    Regarding aboriginal housing; nearly forty years ago I lived and worked along the Darling River.
    My first week there I was driving outside of Bourke with a few workmates when I commented on the appalling state of the aboriginal housing that solicited a few wry grins and shakes of the head.
    One of the older guys said "See these houses?" pointing at a group of smashed up houses with yards that looked like small garbage tips. [Why it was pleasing for me to see that the residents of that Alice Springs camp obviously take care of their homes and yards]
    My colleague shared that he had helped to build those houses just five years prior.
    The aboriginal occupants had destroyed their own brand new homes, then had the gall to bleat how they lived in deplorable conditions.
    Government can't keep throwing money at indigenous issues. The aboriginal people must be part of the solution for there to be any chance for positive change.

      I bet all the women and children who get bashed by drunk partners love the banned drinkers register. As someone with an alcoholic father who grew up in a very similar neighborhood in the late 80's early 90's during the recession, alcohol is literally the Devils Piss. Alcohol should be banned Australia-wide. This country has a drinking problem. Unfortunately, indigenous people are prone to alcoholism in the same way pacific islanders are prone to diabetes - their bodies simply aren't conditioned to it as Europeans have been for thousands of years, same as Islanders with high sugar foods. Anyone who has lived in areas with lots of indigenous folk for long periods of time know that all too well.

      @@KM-pq7sr The problem is they can't enforce laws. Police have had most of their effective powers stripped, they are so undermanned that it is a miracle you saw a police officer in the video at all. No-one wants to be a cop in the Territory after the Rolfe case because, even though he was found not guilty (and according to every standard for use of force, every single shot he took was justified because his oppo was being actively stabbed until AFTER the final shot), and it's even put off other Commonwealth armed law enforcement who are under NT jurisdiction (AFP, Border Force, Defence Force - NB, Defence and Border Force are both armed law enforcement on the northern Australian border, but NT based assets actually fall under NT coroner jurisdiction if force is used) from wanting to deal with potentially violent jobs up here because of the utter feeling of betrayal and lack of support when force is required. Especially after the coroners court has basically argued the opposite of what the criminal court found. And, even if force is effectively used and the suspect detained, 99.999% of the time they'll be back out the next week doing exactly the same thing, so why even bother? It's much easier just to let people destroy each other than it is to enforce laws that won't be backed up by the government or the courts. Peace stopped being a part of the Territory years ago - it's just taken this long for other people to realise the fact.

Me n a lass drove out of Alice n filled up at first gas station, with our life in our car.. not long after, a car with blacked out windows drove along side us..then took off.. it was pulled up around a bend on the left..there was a guy stood out of the back door, telling us to pull over..they were 3 guys in the car.. i didnt bother, then the car set off at speed following us.. i ended up flooring my old 2.2 suberu to get away, but couldn't really pull away, this went on all the way to near Tennant Creek.. by that point, i has slowly pulled away, at the same time not blowing my engine..it had dark too,.and was a relief to see their lights slipping further back.. we missed the Devils marbles too..gutted we had to shoot right past them..we ended up pulling into Tennants Creek and waited at a big gas station, before camping in a compound..god knows what would of happened if our car had let us down! I had just recently put a new radiator on it, by myself, so was dreading it was guna blow again😅

    I had a friend do a stint as a copper in Alice. He said it was pretty common advice for people visiting that "If you hit someone on the road in the middle of the night, don't stop to check. Call the cops and drive to the police station. If you get out your car you'll probably be killed or seriously injured by friends/family of whoever got hit." I was a bit skeptical... but seeing this... I dunno man. I could see that shit happenning pretty easily.

      Ive seen it happen, the driver was a security guard and was lucky enough to have backup arrive very quickly. The woman who was hit was chased onto the road by a fella with a stick, he turned on the guard blaming him when it was clearly his own fault.
      Bit of context, it was night time and the two had been chasing each other up and down the road yelling abuse and throwing things at each other. The police had been called but as is usual it can take several hours for them to get around to attending.

      Having experience of life in the outback, I would agree. I had a friend that lived her whole life in Mt. Isa, she was driving home one night and there was a wake at the hotel outside of town. A brawl broke out and spilled onto the road, unfortunately she hit someone, didn't hurt them in any way, but they pulled her out of the car and bashed her within an inch of her life, she was 69 years old. She spent months in the hospital trying to recover, she never did. She no longer felt safe living there as nothing was done and no charges pressed. I know from first hand experience having gone through a stabbing in Sydney involving and indigenous person, she stabbed her partner 7 times with 5 different steak knives, she got a 3 month good behaviour bond.... go figure. I was advised by the Police that if she was white she would have spent at least 15 years in jail. They wonder why we don't treat them as equals.

    I am so sad to see what has happened to the Alice over the years. I lived in Alice and worked at the TV station just behind Todd Mall from 1996-7 and I would finish work when the TV station closed transmission (1-2am in the morning) and walked the 1km back to my home, bought things from the Coles (open 24h/day) and did not feel unsafe at any time during those 2 years. I worked alongside Aboriginal people that I had a great respect for and valued their abilities and dedication to the work we did.
    I visited for 2 nights in 2017 and it had changed so much. It wasn't even quite like the video, but I could see the transition to the lawless town it has sadly become now. The video shows me how everything has deteriorated since my last visit. It used to be Tennant Creek had the bad reputation and The Alice was better, but it may be the situation is now reversed.

People don't usually go there 4 holidays like they do Alice so there's even more lawlessness cos cops r focused on the Alice or elsewhere.

      I think it's a subconscious call for help... Even if they don't realize that themselves, they look up to someone who has experienced what they have in life, but has also learnt from their "school of hard knocks" and decide to change and move out of that. It's definitely something to look up to, like an addict whom kicks their addiction. It's a hard path to walk and it's why we aspire to be like those who have already walked it.

      I live in a regional town where nearly 10% of the residents are indigenous. If the groups gathering and having wild brawls were white, the police would make arrests. If the groups were indigenous, only the most violent of the perpetrators would be arrested. Police have told me that they are under instructions to go easy on indigenous people, for fear of being labelled racist.

    Before you go around undoing the injustice handed out to indigenous people in Alice Springs Town camps by buying them booze as they are "discriminated against" you need to understand why these rules are in place and who made them.
    The rules are in place to minimise domestic violence against women and children and to minimise sexual assault against children in the camps as behaviours are very negatively affected when people in these camps are under the influence of alcohol.
    The restrictions are requested by the leaders in the camps (e.g. elders) and are then enforced by police aids.....the rules were not made by "white man" as a means of discrimination.
    Before you make judgement, you need to have an understanding as to why and how certain practices came into being.
    Example - if you have ever driven around the communities, you will notice many items are on the roofs of the houses, (stones, sticks, chairs, bikes, etc)......why?........when a fight breaks out the women go around and chuck these items onto the roofs as they cannot then be used as weapons by the people fighting.
    I worked and lived in Arnhem Land, Alice Springs, etc for 15+ years.........and have some idea why things are the way they are........if you have NO understanding then don't try to change it.

    I worked in Alice for about 5 months, small drainage company from Perth WA, every night we’d leave our main work truck with all our tools and generators locked up at the police station, even had one of our work utes stolen from the house we were staying at behind a padlocked gate

    I loved working out of Alice but knew to be back at the hotel by 14.00. Sadly. That was 2018 up until Covid. It's deteriorated really quickly. The locals have been begging for help for such a long time. Cheers Spanian for shining a light of raw truth on this, it will hopefully help in a positive way. It's a special place.

    Props to Harley for protecting Spanian lol. At the end in the car park you could see the adrenaline wearing off.

    The elders don’t want the occupants of the camps drinking.
    Alcohol fuelled chaos is not welcome in the camps.
    It’s not racial discrimination
    It’s self preservation.

    I worked for 6 months out in Arnhem land at a place called Bulmen best place i ever work beautiful country great people community was a dry one. lived 2 km out of town but can say just like places everywhere the grog destroys peoples lives. all the problems the grog and drug cause can be prevented. The people I met were some of the best people i have had the privilege to meet in my life.
