"During these fifteen years, we have seen the demonising of Aboriginal people and culture and the erosion of self-determination.”While most Intervention laws ended on Sunday, Commonwealth legislation enabling compulsory income management continues. The Northern Territory government said any person or entity that wishes to sell alcohol in a remote community must apply to the Northern Territory Liquor Commission for a licence.
At the time the government said it was responding to violence and the alleged sexual assault of children.
PresentMurray Tell me this has nothing to do with grog....
The AlboMP Government and the Teal Independant's were warned what would happen and they decided that their agenda was more important, leave this here-
Utter rubbish. Indig ppl need to be responsible for their own bad behaviours, bad attitudes, bad parenting and toxic personal habits.
scrimgour should toss in her labor card and go independent.
Always someone else's fault, take responsibility for your community and if tough love is needed then so be it but stop making excuses for their behavior.
Yes the government let’s it get out of control but if anything was done before it did it would’ve been deemed as racist.
So.. it's the Govt's fault that Aboriginals are drinking, abandoning their children, and committing crimes? Anyone see a problem with that logic?
So she knows nothing and now blames the govt
How about some individual responsibility to be a law-abiding citizen?
Marion clearly can't see past her party politics...this is not news..it's party based propoganda. Will we ever have politicians that represent and look forward...stop justifying poor behaviour and deflecting, by pointing at others.
Opt in opt out, it is free. Stop playing politics and yes, it is a race issue.
My nurse mate not long ago returned from a placement there, and based on her reports its not just race based issues. Lack of support, funding and feet down in those Communities were issues that caused a perpetual cycle. I agreed to help her raise those issues internally
You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you can't get the horrific rate of child sexual abuse under control within your own community, then other people will do it for you. When that happens, you're no position to complain. Take responsibility and stop blaming others.
What... is this a joke? Albo is currently in Alice because of the massive spike in crime, that came about at the end of intervention measures. Such as alcohol bans.

Senator urges alcohol industry to limit sales across the Northern Territory amid rising crimeAssistant Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy calls on the liquor industry to 'step up' and help clamp down on alcohol-fuelled violence in Central Australia. Makes sense This is a bit rich after the Labor party removed alchohol restrictions because they claimed they were racist. Senator Malarndirri McCarthy, is an indigenous aboriginal member of NT parliament, as a leader of the community where has she been all this time and why is nobody listening to her?

Chief Minister claims NT does not need federal intervention from police or militaryChief Minister Natasha Fyles has claimed the Northern Territory has the resources to combat the crime in Alice Springs, adding the deployment of the Australian Federal Police or military is unnecessary. Then why aren’t they 🤷♂️ If Morrison fixed this problem in HIS TERM and especially when he visited Alice 8 months ago, specifically to address this issue, Alice Springs would not be in this situation now! DUTTON only flapping gums about this to divert attention away from ROBODEBT! So that’s why they’re calling the ADF for help.

NT will not have ‘race-based policy’ that ‘disempowers’ Aboriginal Territorians: FylesNorthern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles says the territory will not have a 'race-based policy' that 'disempowers' Aboriginal Territorians, as the government faces pressure to tackle the issue of alcohol and rising crime rates in the region. “People out of the Northern Territory need to understand the context,” she told Sky News Australia. “We have some of the most strictest alcohol supply measures, we will continue to work in that space, but we will not have a race-based policy that disempowers Aboriginal Territorians.” Self determination and self governance has worked so well in the past. Corruption, nepotism, theft and mismanagement. We should give the indigenous people a voice to parliament we can run the country like ATSIC was. This situation presents a potential matter for a ‘Voice’ to address. So give it a go ‘Voice’ protagonists! CRIME BASE POLICY!!!!

NT police at ‘breaking point’ as crime and violence rise in the stateNT Member for Namatjira Bill Yan says Northern Territory police are at the “breaking point” and “need assistance” in controlling the increased crime and violence within the state. “Our police are at breaking point, they’re tired, they’re absolutely worn out, I see it day in day out,” Mr Yan told Sky News Northern Territory correspondent Matt Cunningham. “They need some help, they need assistance, and they also need a little bit of a break, this might be just that thing they need.” This socialist Government removes the welfare card and a few months later we have drunken violence yet you people in the media are too scared to make the link Liberal DICTATOR DUTTON wants 'troops on the ground' in Alice Springs! Isn't that is MARTIAL LAW! Dutton showing his true COLOR'S again! Why didn't Dutton ask for this when Morrison visited Alice Springs 8 months ago when the LNP were in power? SEE CLIP They were at breaking point when Morrison visited Alice 8 months ago too! The town would not be in the situation it is in NOW if Morrison would have acted back then! AND, Who is that next to Morrison there, JACINTA PRICE! Where was Duttons MOUTH back then when they were in power?

Calls for an immediate return of alcohol bans in the NT amid a rise in crimeThere are calls for an immediate return of alcohol bans in the Northern Territory’s Indigenous communities and town camps after a dramatic rise in crime and domestic violence in Alice Springs. It has been just over six months since the Stronger Futures laws lapsed, meaning alcohol was suddenly legal for the first time in many Aboriginal town camps in 15 years. The Northern Territory government has yet to budge on the issue. Chief Minister Natasha Fyles will be in Alice Springs on Tuesday, where she’s expected to make an announcement around alcohol, but it’s yet to be seen whether she’ll announce the bans will be reinstated. The outcome of the lifting of the bans was obvious to everyone other than the Aboriginal grievance industry and the Labor, Greens and Teals coalition. Yeh look how Alcohol made Chris Smith behave. A pity someone didn't listen to the voices that warned them this would happen.
