Runner, I had the opposite experience. I was travelling on the old Ghan from Marree to Alice Springs with a lady from Hermansburg mission just a short while before the referendum. She was adamant that the natives would be able to handle their introduction to alcohol. I assured her that she was wrong but to no avail. My boss at the time came from South Africa. He told me that the natives there were good blokes to work with but during the weekemds they got on the Kaffir beer and they were downright dangerous.
The do gooders need to go to the NT and see for themselves and talk to some of the older women in the camps and get the true picture of black on black violence.
