The Greens, unsurprisingly, advocating destitute, homeless indigenous people being able to drink themselves to death in a sandy river bed,
Little wonder that they also support policies which create uncontrollable bushfire conditions where people die each year so they can screech 'climate change' just one more time.
Because white folk don't have problems with the drink either. We're just lucky enough to drink ourselves to death in the privacy of our own homes in a much more goverment approved manner.
Spend a night in a Todd River camp bong boy.Have another breakfast beer mate
I went out with a guy who did three years of law up at Charles Sturt and he couldn't believe the drinking culture in Darwin. He said it was almost as if drinking is culturally lauded for one group of people yet condemned for another.We lived in Darwin for about 18 months when I was a kid. Years later, mum said a big part of why we left was people drinking all the time ostensibly because of the climate. My oldest brother was about to start high school.

You would disagree that the drinking culture in the Territory is celebrated to a certain degree? For the most part it's a pisstake but even the front page of the local daily has a cheeky wink and nod towards it a lot of the time.
Amen brother.And white people in cities are the worst! Glad we can agree on that!

Imagine a poor white neighborhood having people patrol their local Dan Murphys. Be front page news.
All this complaining about a cashless welfare card only seemed to happen when it impacted on white folks.
White people don't know how to fix black issues just like city people don't know how to fix country issues.
Not at all but they shouldn't think they're the only people capable of solving others issues.White people should probably do nothing then. That usually gets a positive response.
Nobody is saying other people don't also have problems with the drink, but the violence can get to a whole 'nother level. I have to confess I have never been to Alice Springs and speak only from experience in WA, including outer suburbs of Perth. I lived for a time in one of the state housing areas. There is a level of violence that goes with the drinking that is just brutal and shocking. Of course the women often cop it the worst. The children are not safe at home from their own male relatives and so they leave for a while and just roam the streets causing pretty crimes. The drinking and violence spills out into the street, there is no "keeping up appearances", it is just on public display, residents nearby don't feel safe in their own homes. The police come and drag away the worst offenders, sometimes an ambulance is needed for the injured. This is not an exaggeration, it happened in my street on a regular basis. It is something else, on a different level. This is going back to the 80s and 90s, but when I hear of the problems in Alice Springs I immediatelythink it is something like this.
That is all well and good but a lot of people are still missing the point because they are restricting their mindset to only "black vs white" Australia.
Go to parts of Glasgow and Newcastle in the UK and the violence that comes from alcohol is every bit as astonishing. And it is "white" violence.
The arrogance of white people is the most startling thing here. We are the self-appointed spokespeople for issues concerning indigenous Australia. Just think about that for a minute. Pauline Hanson's disgraceful stunt where she "climbed" Uluru is one of the more recent examples of the complete disrespect that is shown to the true custodians of this country.
When I went to Darwin some years ago I got IDd at the bottle o, felt flattered until I remembered where I was ha ha
Absolutely, if climbing the rock as an Australian was so important to these people why hadn't they done it earlier (lets be honest, the majority were over 50's or tourists).That is all well and good but a lot of people are still missing the point because they are restricting their mindset to only "black vs white" Australia.

Last time I checked, Glasgow and Newcastle were not near Alice Springs. There is a problem in Alice Springs with a certain demographic and alcohol fueled violence. The easiest and most pragmatic solution for Alice Springs seems to be to restrict the supply of alcohol in that demographic. That demographic falls along racial lines, but it exists and it is real. The reporter should take issue with those aboriginal people in Alice Springs who are ruining it for other aboriginal people to clean up their act. Instead it is all racism and the white man's fault. If they deny the racial element to the problem, then naturally any solution appears racist.
So, you missed the point I was making then?
Ok.
