How heroic - maybe he should be in custody for insurrection.
And for those malfeasants, the doors of Gondwanamo Bay yawn wider by the day....
The Secesh have a lower rate of death in custody than the Union, and higher chance of survival in custody than in their own 'communities'.
What's the clown looking to do?
Join his Uncle?
10 yrs ago .... move on - not every Aboriginal who dies in jail, dies in suspicious circumstances.
All these victim card playing arseholes want is to have it so no matter what an Aboriginal does - theft, DV, car jack, rape, murder, home invade etc. they should not receive any punishment or jail time ...... because they're special & the law of the land doesn't apply to them.
Kcuf off.
You are ignoring the 'chicken and egg' controversy: poverty is co-related with crime.
So the government needs to close the gap before you can be safe.
Unfortunately Neoclassical economics rules the roost, rendering government incapable of closing the gap.
Regrettably even Neoclassical economics are diminishing as we tumble towards an electronic world where on line shopping costs jobs in manufacturing and service and AI will soon replace boffins in Tech, Law and even Medicine. The only job platforms that are reasonably safe are trades, and even those are in danger
First Nations People, white Australians, Greeks, Italians, Jews, and all the others that make up Australia are feeling the same thing. The decline of jobs and opportunities and there is nothing the Government can do about it. We have allowed major employers to go casual, and employ on demand - and all the free TAFE and Uni under the sun will not reverse that - we just haven’t got the jobs to meet the applicants
The Government cannot close this gap. If we had the government owned infrastructure of the 50s, 60s and 70s well it would be a different story. We could establish permanent workforces to undertake meaningful work and with good project management, keep those jobs going for ever and a day - but we don’t have that anymore
- we have allowed a huge sell off of just about everything and the jobs went with it.
