What is the criminal rate for the Aboriginal people?

Much higher than for whites, as your stats show.

The question is how to close those stats. ie close the gap.

Suggestions?

Stop drinking, fighting, neglecting and abusing your kiddies. So when you are sober and clean, turn up to school, turn up to training, turn up to work.

A good start, all doable without a single government intervention. Millions, billions around the world manage it. EVEN Aborigines!

Trump in 2016 (on blacks in US inner-city ghettos) : "You are living in poverty, your neigbourhoods are like war zones, your young men are in prison..."

Why is it so?

Obviously government intervention to end povery is necessary.

Your conservative "go get a job" ideology is crippling your powers of analysis.

Meanwile, democratic governments are failing all around the world because the economy is failing to give the bottom half a fair go.

Social Unrest is Rising, Adding to Risks for Global Economy

This year, large and long-running anti-government demonstrations have occurred in some advanced economies where unrest is relatively rare, such as Canada and New Zealand. And in several emerging and developing economies, coups and constitutional crises have sparked widespread protests. A recent body of IMF work aims to understand the economic drivers and costs of such unrest.

Like all blind Conservatives, Frank denies the existence of these macroeconomic realities, and the consequences for individuals, many of whom can't simply "go get a job" to escape poverty. Even whites on Job Seeker in Oz can attest to that.

And btw, your three clowns emojis are as silly as Brian's yawns which yo despise so much....

There ARE things you can do - must do - WITHOUT government assistance. Importantly, no amount of government assistance will help if you DONT do these things.

That is the crux of the matter.

A 10 minute walk from the Alice puts one in good hunting country, it’s not a big place.

Meanwhile farmers in SA and Vic have reached the stage of shooting their livestock and their livelihoods.. so much for "good hunting country" in a drought.

Naturally they are calling out for Albo to save their livelihoods, which he could do - there is plenty of feed in other parts of Oz - but Albo thinks he has to balance the federal government's budget, like you and I have to balance our own household budget, and therefore he baulks at paying the costs of trucking the feed from Qld etc. , an operation well within Oz governement capacity since the fodder, trucks, drivers and fuel are all available, able to be purchased and funded by the currency-issuing Oz government's Treasury without causing inflation (since the necessary resources are available).

There isa drought around the Alice?

Trump on crime in black poverty ghettos IS on topic you mindless Conservative ideologue.

You thought your 3 clown emojis (like your despised Brian's yawn) is sufficient argument to deny the relationship between poverty, crime, and macroeconomic dysfunction - which the IMF wants to understand, given increasing social unrest in many countries even among people not living in poverty (yet), as the middle class is under increasing pressure.

Deplorable.

Already answered in my reply to graps (#463)

Now, back to the topic - how to close the gap among the majority of blacks who live in regional centres?

I have disposed of Frank's and grap's and Boris's crippled analysis, so what are your ideas to close the gap, to end the social unrest in the Alice and elsewhere?

Why close the gaps? The Abos are content to sit out there and 'be traditional' and collect $1.1m in 'royalties - rent by other means, you understand - just for being there. Then they can come into town to binge and stab one another.

Now - which 'gap' would you like to start with?

Crime Rate?
Domestic violence and killing?
Child abuse and neglect?
Incarceration Rate?
Kids removed rate?
Self-induced poverty?

Name one and lay out your plan..... Grin

.. we won't hold our breath.

Because everyone wants to close it - except sufferers of crippled brain syndrome like you, and welfare dependent blacks sitting around in parks in a drunken stupor, the very people who you claim should say "hey, why don't we go get a job".......

So I rest my case; the rest of your post is CIGO.

Yes they should. They crippled their own brains.

You have never had a case.
