Alcohol only ‘part’ of Alice Springs crime problem

2GB and 4BC radio broadcaster Ray Hadley says businesses in Alice Springs are terrified as police in the area are “powerless” to stop crime.
He said alcohol is only part of the problem.
“There is a whole range of young Indigenous people with bugger all to do,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“We’ve got to give them something to do, we’ve got to really guide them into being a bit more productive.”

Having plain clothes / undercover cops actually patrolling the streets is a far better solution than the various liberal social programs. Using an actual prison is what it is.

All you hear on this issue is 'bring them to the table' and 'have a conversation'. The clashing parties are fundamentally incompatible, like plugging an AC power supply into a DC appliance. You can't converse the fried circuit board back to life.

Hold on hold on , it's happening in the cities too not just in alice springs . For decades city aboriginals have drug and alcohol problems where the kids never go to school and out all night getting up to no good then sleeping during the day to do it all again the next night . They fight each other with knives , bats and your bloody fence palings . When you speak up about it you are called racist . Police come and take some away , after a couple of hours they're out back doing the same thing. Lets be realistic about what is happening and start telling the truth. I keep hearing about culture but from what I have had to live with is not a culture that should be promoted or to be proud of . This has happened for 3 generations that I have witnessed first hand . It's frightening and no body should have to put up with this happening and it's getting worse by the day . All Albo will do is say this is why we have to have the voice . Lets see Albo go and visit without all the protection and media around him with hidden cameras recording his every terrified move .

Alcohol is and has always been the worst drug ever and they never say much about it. Seems like every day they come up with a new name for the most dangerous drug ever.

What you said, kind sir, was not inappropriate at all. He needed to be told to get his azz in gear and get up there. People of all kinds need to be telling these elitists to get back to work and stop screwing around. So you telling him exactly what you told him wasn't inappropriate at all. I'm very happy that you told him that. Good on you, mate! 😁

Its a shame the your PM does not recognize what untapped workforce that could be put the task of building the infrastructure of Alice Springs, and a give a community it's own accountability of its growth I dare say its in the trillions lost on this stagnation of progress.I wish I had a workforce that wants too own land , wants put their hard earned money right back into the local place of commerce knowing they helped build it.

Been tried before mate. The aboriginals up there don't want to work or better themselves. They would probably do want they did with public housing years back, smash it up and make shacks out of it.

The problem is the same one as it is in a lot of places. Governments ignored the people's rights and the laws that protect their rights for so long that people are now willing ignore the right of Go governments to create and/or enforce laws.
