They are savages.
Send in the missionaries to save their heathen souls and restore order.


Why blur out half the video picture?

"Violence out of control in outback town of Wadeye, home to 22 clan groups

Harrowing stories are emerging from a town where 500 people are now homeless and a man died after reportedly being speared in the head."


The headline should read : SITUATION NORMAL

Another day, another dog-whistle from Gordy for relevance.

I'm sure this will be lost on you all though:

"...  in a town where 37 homes have been torched — each one leaving more than 10 people with nowhere to sleep and shelter."


More than 10 people per house, eh? Sure, "they" all get free housing, no?

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

This bit is interesting :

Police Minister Nichole Manison visited Wadeye on Tuesday, at the request of Traditional Owner and senior community members, according to NT News.

A spokeswoman for her office told the newspaper: “This is a very complex matter with a long history. The answers lie in more support for homelands as well as opportunity for mediation of family disputes, before they escalate to intra-family violence.”


It's outta control black on black/domestic violence.

One man died after reportedly being speared in the head in Wadeye, 400km south-west of Darwin, and 37 homes were extensively damaged by fire during the unrest.

Yeah, send the missionaries out there, too. The locals might entertain them with something else.
Geez, you're a knock in the head, Bobby.

Not one of you have yet picked up the point!

THIS is WHY it's out of control! Domestic Violence!

DV costs Australia over $15.6 BILLION EVERY YEAR!

The harm/death stats are another shocking reality check.

IF I was in parliament I'd be quickly looking at that cost and working out how to reduce DV and reclaim that money and put into Aging, Education etc.

Months of unrest??? More like decades.

This has been going on in Wadeye & other remote communities for a very long time.

And look at what happens to the taxpayer funded housing.

That's why all they need is a single room steel frame with corrugated iron sheeting on a concrete slab.

So the Govt should build more houses for greater selection to get torched?

What's lost on you is that 37 houses were burnt.

And no one in that community will be held accountable for that arson.

Good to see some footage getting out showing the true Abbo culture in this typical remote community, not much has changed in 60,000yrs.

I doubt any of them bludgers have ever worked a day in their lives.

It's terrible to see women and children suffering away in these areas. They don't stand a chance. As for the guys? Put them all in jail and throw away the key!

At least we haven't interfered with their traditional customs.

And what's lost on you and bigots like you is that if they weren't being crammed into housing (all too often without even running water or plumbing) and were given access to the basic infrastructure and services you take for granted, hostilities would be far less likely to arise.

But you idiots haven't gotten that through your head in decades. You're not likely to start now. You just lay all the blame on the symptoms. Feeds your prejudice nicely.
