Jacinta is correct. Can you imagine the ourcry if the children were removed from their disfunctional families? Shock and horror by the lefties and greenies. My husband and I looked after a Christian work in Ti Tree many years ago now (200K north of Alice Springs), The couple who live there went on holidays and they had a shop where they sold stuff at reduced prices so the locals weren't getting ripped off. The Basic Card was in back then and they were not allowed to buy alcohol or tobacco with that car (the shop didn't sell them). However, they did sell mobile phones and just about every fortnight people would come in and buy mobile phones! It was bizaare. Some got thei Centrelink on a certain day and came into the shop and spent every cent on that day, leaving them with nothing for the rest of the fortniight. It was an incredible education. We saw a war in the town where old women were bashing each other with sticks. There was a large contingent of police in that town. Definnitely a place for certain people, but I was very glad to go home to Queensland!
Jacinta Price is great. Her solutions are real but I don’t think the elites want to do anything about the problem. It suits them to have a ready made group of victims. I do think that until these aboriginals actually want to stand up and put their children first and then there isn’t anything much can be done except reinstate the cashless card, move them away from the camps, make any welfare dependent on school attendance and set up boarding schools across the NT and WA. Northern Territory Christian schools were given money to do just that with some success, I think. I believe they worked with the AFL as well. I remember hearing about it a long while ago. Mission schools were successful in their time.
There were children who were sent to boarding school in Sydney from Ti Tree, They had everything given to them and given a very good education. I think it was Kambala that they went to and they had special people looking after them. The opportunities are there
Charlie Perkins (first aboriginal to graduate from University )was given up by his mother to the Anglican Church to save him being dead from grog in the Todd River before he was twenty) Seemed to work .
This young lady is wise beyond her years and is an asset to our community. She is totally ignored by the government "who knows best" (But then what is unusual about labor ignoring facts from people who just happen to know what they are talking about.?)
these children from dysfunctional families is to show them the benefits of living in society and place them into private schools in the ACT. They can be put up in university dormitories until adequate accommodation is available for them on or near the schools they attend
Hopefully when living among supportive and sympathetic adults they will not feel the need to run riot
Yes, but who's going to pay for these kids to attend private schools? The tax-payer? The tax-payer already pays an arm and a leg towards helping Aboriginal people. I definitely agree that Aboriginal kids living among supportive, genuinely caring adults, should prove to be helpful and effective over time. Why specifically send them to the ACT though? What about other cities and towns?
I think one of the worst things for Aboriginal families is to leave them in their own 'communities' out in the middle of the outback somewhere. It just doesn't seem to be doing anything to help them. Look at Alice Springs for example. I think Aboriginals should be integrated into normal, civil society. That way, more will be expected of them and in time, they will, hopefully start to follow the example of people living in a working, civilised environment. Adult Aboriginals need to start taking responsibility for themselves. They will never appreciate anything given to them until they are forced to start working for what they have like the rest of the world has to. I believe they will also end up being happier and more contented that way, because they will have a sense of purpose in their lives.
Aboriginal culture? When I lived in the Pilbara back in the 70-80s a good mate of mine was a heavy machinery fitter /boiler maker , Ian was a top tradesman and a born again Christian . One of Ians ta (tradesmans assistant was a full blood aboriginal from the district and was very interested in the work and was always wanting to have a go at welding ,oxy cutting etc He was educated to about primary school year seven so Ian arranged an adult apprenticeship for him, a 3 year course Which with Ians help got through OK and was duly employed by the mining company with married quarters provided (all employees -married had a 4bed air conditioned house for nominal rent )and the young bloke settled in seemlessly to the work force for about 3 years and then one day just did not come to work . Nothing unusual here except the young bloke never took days off at all . When he didnt front again the next day Foreman Ian decided to call into his home to check if all was well. When Ian turned into his street he was greeted by about 15 clapped out old cars and a corroboree (drunken binge )going on in the young blokes yard . He explained to Ian that "the mob" had found him and moved into bludge on him for every penny he had . He said I have to resign from work as I cant feed these bastards forever and went back to the bush. He explained that this was the aboriginal way and that there was no way out of it .
I have a friend who works at Centrelink - he was interviewing an aboriginal lady who had recently got a job. As they talked she hissed at him- keep your voice down -I do t want that mob, indicating some other aborigines - to know that I have a job.
My friend said - why? - reply- because I will have to give them sone of my money!
You know in the end it shouldn’t matter how or where the aboriginal people choose to live - the issue is who pays? I think that we have paid reparations so it’s up to them. We just should not have to pay. That would be treated aboriginal people like adults.
That is absolutely 100% correct, Jillian! No, we certainly should not have to pay. No matter who someone is or where they come from, every single person in this world must at some point or another, take responsibility for their own lives. Do you know the story of 'The Little Red hen'? Brilliant story.
"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10
Thr ACT is populated by public servants and like minded who believe they have all the answers but take no responsibility for their actions
This way public servants with time on their hands can learn to take responsibility for their actions and Aboriginal students can be introduced to a life with boundaries and some rules and regimentation
This will have mutual benefit as the entitled public servants and like minded living in La La land will be confronted by a problem they neglect. And neglected teenagers can be educated and become useful citizens
Ah, now I understand why you suggested the ACT in particular. Perhaps a public servant/like-minded person living in the ACT might find having one of these Aboriginals as a neighbour to be a good source of professional development. In fact, these public servants might learn their best lesson yet when they find that their house/apartment has been vandalised and their Tesla has been stolen, then driven through bushland after being used to do donuts, until it is completely trashed!
Yes, sadly, you are absolutely correct - most of what the taxpayer forks out is indeed wasted.
We seem to be on the same page here it is a shame that the "leadership "need a similar lesson . Tony Abbot used to spend time every year in the communities and would have had a handle on the "situation "but the elites ,bed wetters , and inner city squillionairs that needed power kicked him out ,much to Australias loss.
I remember Tony Abbot being ridiculed for wearing "budgie smugglers"as if it were a fashion statement ( stupid bastards ) well a surf lifesaver would go to the beach in a suit and tie and Rural Fire Service volunteer of long service . Our media suck .just lefty parasites.
When James asked Senator Price, "To get to the root of the problem, what do we actually do?", Price replied, "We need to take these kids away from disfunction. We need to put them in homes where they're going to be cared for, where their human rights are going to be upheld...".
Excellent question and an equally good answer. What I find most interesting about this answer, is that those who have been, and continue to be mercilessly criticised, vilified and accused by the left as having "Stolen" Aboriginal children during the 1800s to 1900s, did precisely this.
I met a man in Ti Tree who worked for the council, he is aboriginal and he told me he was so glad his mother weas "stolen". She was given a good education as was he and he had a very responsible job there. He took me for a tour of a camp where they have been given everything, nice houses and edverything they need. The place was filthy, there were cars in various stages of disrepair and houses with holes in walls. A man came out and stopped the guy who took me and asked him to clean up the place!!!!! Like they make the mess and expect others to clean it up! I was taking photos without being seen and they are pretty raw

I am in awe of this brave woman. She lives it, she sees it, she has has practical solutions. Great interview James
This young lady is wise beyond her years and is an asset to our community. She is totally ignored by the government "who knows best" (But then what is unusual about labor ignoring facts from people who just happen to know what they are talking about.?)
I think that a possible way to try and help
these children from dysfunctional families is to show them the benefits of living in society and place them into private schools in the ACT. They can be put up in university dormitories until adequate accommodation is available for them on or near the schools they attend

The culture is the problem.
That’s a sad story you told.

Besides these "entitled" elites wouldnt want a dirty mob of blackfellas in THEIR pristine suburb (Shock horror)
See my latest reply to David Wine.
Correct. That was largely the point of the first comment.
