Lego, alcohol is the scourge of the white community as well as the blacks. Back in 1962 and later before the referendum, I lived at Batchelor and spent a bit of time in both Darwin and Alice and I don't remember that aboriginal incarceration was a problem. In later years I had a friend who lived in Alice and he told me that blacks killing blacks had become a real problem. We did them no favours allowing them free access to alcohol.

More recently I spent a bit of time following the misdeeds of the white community in the Latrobe Valley court. I recall a conversation with the chief magistrate and I suggested to him that if it wasn't for drink and drugs, he would be out of a job. He agreed.

I have spoken to a couple of old missionaries who begged the Government not to let grog into the old mission stations (taken over by Government). The virtue signallers of the 1960's and 70's 'moral superiority' won out. Peoples wracked by dysfunction. The virtue signallers of today have the same spirit. But we know, just like the kkk founders in America (democrats) the 'progressives' always know best. At least it keeps the rivers of gold flowing in their pockets.

"The reason so many people misunderstand so many issues is not that these issues are so complex, but that people do not want a factual or analytical explanation that leaves them emotionally unsatisfied. They want villains to hate and heroes to cheer." (Thomas Sowell, black)

"If they really want to help make things better — which, of course, they don’t — footage of black-on-black violence, of child abuse and community dysfunction would be a catalyst for conversations about the need to address real problems rather than largely notional ones". (Anthony Dillon, part Aboriginal).

The author being from the Intelligence community does not show much
insight into the terrorism community. It would seem that the Australian
intelligence community has been infected with the namby pamby attitude
to terrorists that has been the British equivalent.
Any stabbing gets brushed off as "Mental Illness".
Islamaphobia in the UK is now a criminal offense. Anyone who does not
have some self preservation Islamaphobia is not in the real world.
The hundreds of Christians and farmers being murdered each month in
various parts of the world get virtually no mention in our media.
How many here have heard of the situation in Nigeria ? BLM ?
It is a dirty secret that must not be spoken about.
