Just a comment

Walking and driving through Katherine yesterday, we noticed the number of indigenous school-age kids who were wandering around either alone or with parents/family. Why aren't they at school?


It's a cycle that won't change if positive steps aren't made. No school, no job skills, no jobs. 


Another very offensive and discriminatory sign that sits outside many indigenous communities is about prohibition of alcohol and pornography. It must be so demeaning for people who live there. What about non-indigenous people who abuse alcohol and children? 

Alice Springs Coles and Woolworths stores have just announced that they will stop selling cask wines soon. I don't know the answers but it all seems prohibitive and reactive.
