Beneath the Alice Springs 'crime wave' are complex issues – and a lot of politics
Alcohol has long been identified as the key problem in Alice Springs crime - and bans and policing its primary solutions. But that is far too simplistic, which is why is hasn’t worked.
I'll give you some background information as an Australian living in a city very close to a dry community.
The Government has ruled that many aboriginal communities are to be "dry communities", which is to say the sale and I believe possession of alcohol are banned. The idea, of course, is protection of our precious minorities. Previously, the aboriginals would happily sit in their communities, beat and molest their own children and generally commit all types of heinous crime on one another. The implementation of the dry community mandate meant that the alcoholic aboriginals who used to commit those crimes to afford their swill and sate their lizard-brained urges now had to enter polite society to get their next fix.
This ended just about how you would expect; they litter the parks and the alleys drinking themselves blind in the day-time, and form roving bands of danger at night in order to fuel their habits. Some of them take to sniffing (and reportedly drinking) petrol. It is a whole thing.
Dumbass academic types, like these authors, tend to follow in lockstep with the opinions of the south-east (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, etc), and it just so happens there are very few aboriginals in the south-eastern states. The few that do live there appear to live in a perpetual state of grifting, pushing for land to be considered "sacred" to whatever aboriginal tribe they hold allegiance to and litigating anyone who so much as looks at it askance. This results in basically no-one there really knowing how dangerous it is to go outside at night anywhere with a sizable aboriginal population without being in a large group. Interestingly, these two idiots apparently actually live in Alice Springs, but I'm sure we've all seen the tendency of the overeducated to disregard information they can gather by simply paying attention to their own surroundings.
To address the question finally, that is certainly a problem, but that's more a south-eastern state thing. Here I would hesitate to say the protected minority is doing "nothing". They actively terrorise the communities that they squat in to chase their next high, and the cucked white people are trying to enact a pathetic kind of prohibition only in aboriginal communities, without realising that, oh right, prohibition didn't fucking work for a reason.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I've been told refineries actually mix up gas differently if it's being sold in Abo gas stations to try to keep them from huffing it all day long, is that true?
Yes, BP's version is called 'opal'.
Surely you don't mean to tell me that dispite that public service announcement and campaign that they are still getting rama rama?
metokur's theme
Boongs are a frequent annoyance where I live, ranging from the welcome to country bullshit, to being screamed at for being a "white cunt" just for walking past them, up to the occasional unprovoked assault. But the situation that really breaks my heart is when the government sneakily buys a house in a middle class suburb only to give it to a chronically welfare dependent abo. The second "aunty" gets the house it is populated by 20 petrol sniffing crims who roam the neighbourhood looking for shit to steal. I've seen it happen and it fucking destroys a whole street over time.
Yes, as shown by the examples of Glebe Point Rd and The Block in Redfern (both Sydney), or the ghetto in Townsville, or the recent murders in South Perth, such action by the government always ends “well”… 😳
Whitlam started this shit. It tends to escalate each time Labor wins at state or federal level. Not that the other side is much better, I admit…

Holy shit the copium "Replace Alcohol with Artifically enforced poverty, and you have a better headline"
From the oustide, it looks like it's Democrat style of law enforcement (i.e. none) based on race.
As usual the police are too scared to be seen as racist to actually do their jobs - end of story
To be fair, police trying to properly exocute their jobs have a tendency to lose their jobs...
