If you read the whole article it's explained the fortnightly ferry that ships in supply costs 25k each trip.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are heavily discounted by the shop to encourage a better diet.

If you live remote I don't think you can reasonably expect city services.

And that's paid for by the taxpayer.

The whole article is a non issue and the emphasis should be about a better diet because statistically Aboriginals have a lesser life expectancy than other Australians because of higher rates of diabetes, kidney disease and associated illnesses driven by poor diets/nutrition and substance abuse.

The cost of a packet of Tim Tams should not be news worthy nor in the least of any concern as an issue for remote communities like Kalumburu.

Read what I said about the real estate. RP data doesn't show a single real estate transaction for Kalumburu. That's because it's not a real town. A real town is where people engage in some kind of commercial activity and ultimately people desire to move there, so buy real estate. Kalumburu is a welfare encampment. The whole joint is tax payer funded, the only incomes there is welfare. The barge which brings the tim tams in is taxpayer funded. The money that buys the expensive tim tams is welfare money.

$2.50 a packet for the caramel ones... my favourite...... stocking up tomorrow!!! They disappear fast when grand-kids appear - they can smell Tim Tams at the back of the cupboard from the top of the driveway.... the moment that car drives in... that's it!!

Just gut shoving LTYC out of the way... a little jostle here and there never hurt nobody....

I tossed up and got the white chocolate ones for a change. Maybe I will get one this time.

Cost of ferry trip is $25,000.
A small ferry is around $1/2 million, $400 week over 30 years and $400 interest /week.
Fuel is around 400 litres/hour for 60 hours Darwin -Kalumburu return, 24,000l. 20tons fuel @ $820 Au ton= $1640.
Wages 3 men week $3600.
wharfage fee $1000
Costs $800
1640
3600
1000 $7040
That's around $18,000 profit for 3 days work, from taxpayers.

The Abo industry is the new gold rush.

Gordon is a total dumbf**k moronic cretin.

So many lies.

"24,000l. 20tons fuel @ $820 Au ton= $1640"

24000 l of fuel = $1640 is absolute deceit and nonsense. That's about 6c a litre for fuel.

If the ferry uses 24,000 l of fuel for the round trip that would cost more than the $25,000 fee for the ferry.

Bigots and racists are very poor at the presentation of their lies.

It is evident that Gordon is deficient in education and should sue his educators for their negligence.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Derby WA has 2500 people, half being white fella boozers, using truck freight.
Groceries are 1/8 cu m person month, 300cub m. for Derby. Truck freight $6 for 3.5cub.m load /km. 80 loads is $480/km, 2370km Perth-Derby = $1,100,000 freight month.
Including the age pension and all payments, around five million Australians receive some sort of income support.

Not that it matters. They get paid $45,000 a year to sit on their arses, anyway. Royalties from mining. It is not like they cannot afford inflated prices.

As is nearly every remote community.
I don't need to read anything Gordy.

It's a bullshyte post by WK. There is no real cost to Kalumbaru residents because of what you state.

It seems the ferry freight costs around 10 times Auspost rates for 22kg cartons. Healthy rabbit food should be about the same for Gnads and remote customers.

Ahh ... some similarities to the bollocks you & LTYC post....

coincidence or are you another terrorist supporting POS?
