These Advocates are a major problem, they need be thrown in prison as they always defend criminals and always stay quiet when its law abiding citizens

great its out of control there

Is this the vouce Linda is talking about? Powerful is it not?

Just enforce a curfew and gun down those who break it.

I am sure families want to go to shopping without being hit in the head will not be upset. Where does this advocate lives Sydney Northern Beach 🤔

No need to be concerned. its a democracy. what could go wrong? Stolen Generations, 527 Indigenous deaths in custody...

just for show for a week then Alice would become lawless again If the cops arrest a black teen then there would be a scream of racism

Time to let the indigenous do their own justice system. You know spearing, killings, etc.

In one door and out the other!

So easy to fix the problem. Just behave! Respect your elders

Take the kids home, and give the Parents a nice fine. If it happens again, double the fine and so on... If the kids Don't have a Safe home, take them to a safe home... Race is irrelevant, caring for Children is...

Bleeding hearts concerned about justice. The sane majority of the population concerned about a lack of justice.

Are they on fkcing horses?

Woke fake news❗️Just the slightest reference, a mild allusion in a photo caption, to the fact that this is the aboriginal community out of control and back on the grog since alcohol restrictions were lifted in July 2022. ABCNews

'Mr Carmody said he was concerned that more young people might end up in the justice system as a result.' What a shame there was no follow up question along the lines of 'do children who don't commit crimes end up in the justice system'? It seems like it would be easy to avoid

I’m sure the families out having family time will not be upset.
