A SHOPPING centre manager has lifted the lid on “Darwin’s dirty secret,” saying a large amount of human faeces is washed on to the city streets every day. The manager of Fannie Bay shops, who asked not to be named, said he was using a fire hose up to three times a day to wash the poo from concrete footpaths. “We just push it on to the street and the public walks in it every day. It is a dirty secret in Darwin,” he told the Northern Territory News. He said it was not just Fannie Bay that had the problem, but also Parap, Stuart Park and in the “nooks and crannies,” at all shops around Darwin. Lisa Johnston, who works at Fannie Bay cafe the Cool Spot, said she smelled it every time she got to work at 6 o’clock in the morning, “just after they have finished hosing it down”. “It is pretty rank in the morning,” she said. Port Darwin MLA John Elferink has also noticed the proliferation of poo around Parap. On Saturday morning he found it outside his office. “I found four little deposits along the back - it is just gross,” he said. He also found excrement in Parap car park. Mr Elferink said he had complaints from real estate agents and local residents in the past week. Itinerants were being blamed for the extra excrement this wet season. Many had moved their camps under the cover of shops to escape the rain. At Fannie Bay shops about 20 people have moved in to Keith Lane, complete with mattresses, pillows and sheets, over the past couple of weeks. Mr Elferink said Darwin City Council should re-examine its policy of closing public toilets at night. But the Fannie Bay shops manager said the real issue was that the council was not enforcing its by-laws by cracking down on illegal campers and fining them. Darwin City Council chief executive Brendan Dowd said council officers did not fine indigenous homeless people. “Their financial circumstances mean they have little capacity to pay a fine,” Mr Dowd said. Instead the council was working with police to increase patrols in the area. Poo is not a new problem for Darwin. In July the NT News reported council rangers were cleaning up human faeces from parks several times a day. Mr Dowd said the council was reviewing its policy on closing public toilets at night. The NT Government was also in the process of seeking further funding for the “Return to Country” program to help people presently stranded in Darwin return to their communities.

That's what you get for calling it arse bay.

These people can't even clean up after themselves. Disgusting! They'll be expecting us to go up there and wipe their arses for them next.

These Territorians. Would you call them tinted or tanned?

Tinted. I'm guessing these were the Australoids.

Is it acceptable that within some communities people who commit domestic violence get a 'pass', because they are Aboriginal?
Is it acceptable that within some communities people who sexually molest their children, or sexually molest their siblings get a 'pass', because they are Aboriginal?
Is it acceptable that within some communities people who sh!t in public areas get a 'pass', because they are Aboriginal?
Is it acceptable that within some communities people who indulge in public drinking to the point of drunkeness get a 'pass', because they are Aboriginal?

I know that not all Aboriginal people behave in this way.

But i believe that those Aboriginal people who are closest to the problematic conduct of their peers, should accept responsibility, THEMSELVES, for the conduct which they themselves tolerate, and their peers indulge in.

For many years within Australia, Aboriginal people has asked for 'the right of self determination', so as to establish their own dignity, as a people.

But where is the self responsibility of Aboriginal people, for their own conduct?

IMO, it is very disingenuous for those within the Aboriginal community to categorise as 'racists', those in the wider Australian community who criticise the CONDUCT of some Aboriginal people.

If Aboriginal people are to have any dignity and pride, in their own communities, then they THEMSELVES, need to start to accept responsibility, for their own conduct, and for the conduct of their own community peers.




If the right of self determination is extended to Aboriginal people [and in my opinion it should be], are Aboriginal communities and people, THEMSELVES, able to demonstrate their own ability to act responsibly?

And if Aboriginal people are unable to demonstrate an ability to act responsibly, should white people then be denigrated as 'paternalistic', OR, as racist, when they intervene to assist Aboriginal communities and people?

The wider Australian community can continue to pour resources [money] into resolving 'social' problems within Aboriginal communities, but if Aboriginal people themselves refuse to address and accept responsibility for their own conduct, and the conduct of their peers, then in our 'assistance', the wider Australian community will effectively only be throwing money into a fire.

Is there a certain level of mental illness present within some Aboriginal people?
And if there is, who is responsible for that level mental illness which is, or seems to be present, within some Aboriginal people, communities ?

It used to be the same in Cairns 10 years ago, when the 'parkies' were doing the same thing to the shopfronts on the Esplanade.
