The North Sentinelese islanders want internet access too.

Remote communities - move.


Leave them where they are. We tried that experiment of moving people from remote communities to Mackay, Emerald, Rockhampton and Gladstone in the late 1990s. It was a big social failure. Some people you just cannot civilise.



Fine, don't move.

But they then shouldn't kvetch about being remote, ffs.  They want to live in the middle of nowhere - but with all the facilities and services (provided and paid for by other) of the middle of a city somewhere.


Indigenous people have a culture of being egotistical. Other people have something, then they want it, too. Even those few that live in cities among the white and Asian people still have this idea that everything should be provided for them.

The stories that I have heard about what the unemployable indigenous Australians want are quite amazing. If they run out of money, they just ask for more. They get fed. They get housed. The law won't touch them. I feel sorry for those indigenous Australians who have genuinely tried to integrate into the wider community of towns and such, but have to put up with the bullshit of those indigenous people that have been so spoiled by modern conveniences that they don't bother contributing to society.

My parents live on a street where about one-third of the residents are of indigenous heritage. Some are good neighbours. A couple of households are just so rotten to the core that I wish that they pack up their stuff and leave.

Internet access? They are more interested in the football or smoking pot to be bothered with what is on the computer.

Racism this is... chapter 2 - where are all the luvvies weeping uncontrollably and rocking back and forth on their haunches about 'scrimination', and 'racism', and 'lack of falcon internet' etc, to work on while munching down a packet of Tim Tams:-

"On Saturday night, a 22-year-old man allegedly climbed into a woman’s bedroom window and sexually assaulted her while she was sleeping.

He was charged with two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, gross indecency without consent, aggravated burglary, being armed with an offensive weapon and traffic offences.

In another incident on Thursday, three young males allegedly demanded alcohol from a 57-year-old man in his home, threatening him with weapons including a baseball bat and a tomahawk.

The youths fled the scene in a stolen Mitsubishi. A 19-year-old and a 16-year-old were later arrested, while one offender remains outstanding.

NT Police Commissioner Michael Murphy said it was “totally unacceptable and people needed to feel safe in their homes”.

“We’ve seen a shift from really public space and inner-city activity to activity in the suburbs,” he said on Thursday.

“We’ve met with the team this morning and given really clear instructions about repurpose, as well as the operational response of four or five police cars, night police cars, calling and responding to calls for public assistance.”

Mr Murphy said officers would target specific locations and focus on people who should not be there.

“Our thoughts are with all the victims of crime, especially the mum and the two-month-old baby who are in Adelaide and seeking medical attention,” he said.

Ms Finocchiaro issued a statement on Thursday acknowledging the “hurt, fear and anger” in the Alice Springs community, which felt the system had “let them down for a very long time”.

“The recent tragic events highlight the dire consequences of years of policy failure,” she said.

“The high level of violent offending is not acceptable and takes a huge toll on our community and emergency responders. People have a right to be safe in their homes. The community deserves to be safe.”

As part of the territory’s response to escalating crime in Alice Springs, the chief minister said a Fugitive Taskforce would target people with outstanding warrants, high-risk repeat offenders and urban streets.

“Alice Springs will be divided into five sectors, four urban including the CBD, and one rural sector,” she said.

“This means Operation Ludlow will be divided into intensive patrols in those sectors and supported by additional police to give highly visible, high engagement policing.”

The Chief Minister is expected to hold urgent meetings over the coming days with community bodies and announce further measures to reduce crime.

“I thank our police for their brave and diligent work to ensure the offenders could not cause further harm to our community,” she said.

“I thank all of the first responders who provided urgent care to the victims.”



Fine words from Murphy, he’s the upholder of the law and when some outnumbered ‘’white’’ bloke kills a couple of attackers inside his own home, Murphy and the NT Government will be down on him like a tonne of bricks.

Move the federal Ministry of Indigineous Affairs to Alice Springs and the National Indigenous Australians Agency to Fitzroy Crossing.
