That will buy a ton of meth.

Will this money go to their victim’s?

Well goverment is top of the food chain I do hope if these grown men and women who did abuse these children are behinde bars and serving time for child abuse .

I get civil court is different to criminal court but this is a strange decision by the NT Govt. The applicants are claiming they were assaulted, abused and falsely imprisoned while in youth detention facilities. Yet it would seem no guard has been criminally charged. 🤔

Michael Gunner 'extremely worried' wet season downpours will delay remote vaccination effortThe NT Chief Minister says he fears the annual deluge — which sees many remote communities isolated for months at a time — could hamper the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations in remote areas. surely our government can overcome a bit of rain! could they get a boat, or a hovercraft..? What the hell would happen if there was a military invasion in this country Suggest the Government provide Hovercrafts, anything, to ensure Vaccines get to Outback Communities. Truth is most people out here don't want it. CDC has said unvaccinated people can still transfer the virus so it create no additional risk if they choose not to be vaccinated. Many of these people resent govt for their past actions and rightly so.
