Misery
True God
I am indigenous. That police officer didnt murder. He shot and killed a man. But it was not murder. The facts as pointed out duting the case were. He ordered the now deceased to drop the weapon. The officer fired when he was lunged at. The local medical centre was closed due to the street violence and repeated break ins. There was no way to provide the emergency aid that was required. The deceased had repeated violent incidents previously. No offence intended. But if someone points a gun and says stop, just stop.
Spot on, my mate lives in Alice and said the same thing
Thanks for the info.
It's just gotten so bad there now, it's to see that stuff happening.
nobody cares.
@ozicryptoG about you? That's sad bud. But I'm almost certain there is a hotline you can call.
Showed this to my Year 9 class today. A group of boys that usually can't stay still for 5 seconds were glued to the screen and we had a big chat afterwards about how the role of police changes in different parts of Australia, why so much violence exists in the NT and what could be done to stop it. Thank you for what you do - big fan!
I guess it's good to discuss these things. I think we need to get back to basics, enforce the laws, don't pussy foot around just because people are from a minority group etc. There was a shocking lack of policing going on in that video. They only showed up at the very end.
@@KM-pq7sr The problem is they can't enforce laws. Police have had most of their effective powers stripped, they are so undermanned that it is a miracle you saw a police officer in the video at all. No-one wants to be a cop in the Territory after the Rolfe case because, even though he was found not guilty (and according to every standard for use of force, every single shot he took was justified because his oppo was being actively stabbed until AFTER the final shot), and it's even put off other Commonwealth armed law enforcement who are under NT jurisdiction (AFP, Border Force, Defence Force - NB, Defence and Border Force are both armed law enforcement on the northern Australian border, but NT based assets actually fall under NT coroner jurisdiction if force is used) from wanting to deal with potentially violent jobs up here because of the utter feeling of betrayal and lack of support when force is required. Especially after the coroners court has basically argued the opposite of what the criminal court found. And, even if force is effectively used and the suspect detained, 99.999% of the time they'll be back out the next week doing exactly the same thing, so why even bother? It's much easier just to let people destroy each other than it is to enforce laws that won't be backed up by the government or the courts. Peace stopped being a part of the Territory years ago - it's just taken this long for other people to realise the fact.
You are a good teacher. Used to work in a state school in QLD and saw too much trashy stuff and nonsense teachers introduced to students. Keep up your great work. THANK YOU!
This gives me hope in the education system.
This should be shown to high school kids.
It opens so many political and socioeconomic discussions that kids usually find dull and boring.
Brilliant teacher.
Thankyou for your service to our future leaders, bless you 🙏
@@sa25-svredemption98 I take your point. It's going the same way in parts of the US and UK. Police are resigning in their droves because the system seems to be against them now. It's not worth risking life and limb to enforce the law when you may end up in jail yourself just for doing your job.
But the anti Police agenda seems to mainly come from the left wing. Just look at the mess they made in Portland Oregon with the anti Police agenda.
This is the best journalism in Australia, none of the Aussie media would do this
fuckn oath. couldnt agree more with this comment. NO ONE else is doing Australian journalism like this right now.
Legit bro

So none of u watch NITV,ABC, SBS or VICELAND obviously.
I s'pose u get ur 'news' from a current affair 😂
@@jadecawdellsmith4009 I watch all those channels. None of em are going into places and capturing footage as raw and unfiltered as this.
The drinking ban is not about racism!! Most elders support the alcohol ban. Check what goes on to small children in some of those communities, the ban is to save them.
May not be because of racism but they are definitely racist, I’m not even from there and I was rejected by at least 4/7 shops I tried to shop at
It may not be a racism thing but it's definitely a control thing before you know it one rule for all of Australia
The most dangerous city in australia has alcohol restrictions? What are the chances?
100% bro
Your one of those one's that listened to John Howard's bullshit about paedophile rings they had such a problem with in those communities And thought it was reasonable to rashen their water usage in remote communities...
Respect to Spanian.
Last time I checked his channel a few years ago he was a bit of a meme.
Now he is doing better journalism about Alice Springs than I could find on legacy media.
Balls of steel for actually hitting the streets.
You're not a journalist cos you take a camera to a place and start filming . And the only reason the other media stations don't talk about this is because nothing can be done about it so what's the point ? This whole idea of just constantly showing things but not actually doing anything about it it's completely useless
@@James-kv6kbawareness
@@crystellenielsen1288 we've been aware of the situation for a long time and nothing can be done and spreading it over social media and all the news stations every day is not going to do anything until we admit that different solutions are needed for different types of human beings . I really am shocked the young people think that awareness is just about mass publicity but don't realise if we had a solution we would have used by now
@James, yet here you are commenting on it
@@James-kv6kb Lots can be done about it but Australians lack the spine to follow through.
Regarding aboriginal housing; nearly forty years ago I lived and worked along the Darling River.
My first week there I was driving outside of Bourke with a few workmates when I commented on the appalling state of the aboriginal housing that solicited a few wry grins and shakes of the head.
One of the older guys said "See these houses?" pointing at a group of smashed up houses with yards that looked like small garbage tips. [Why it was pleasing for me to see that the residents of that Alice Springs camp obviously take care of their homes and yards]
My colleague shared that he had helped to build those houses just five years prior.
The aboriginal occupants had destroyed their own brand new homes, then had the gall to bleat how they lived in deplorable conditions.
Government can't keep throwing money at indigenous issues. The aboriginal people must be part of the solution for there to be any chance for positive change.
I think it is important for people who have no idea about Indigenous communities to understand what is a “dry community”. If you live in a “dry community” , the community and the elders have CHOSEN not to have alcohol. If you live in this type of community you are not supposed to drink, you cannot have alcohol in the community or bring it in. You are not supposed to go out of the community and then go back in, drunk. The way it is being portrayed here, for whatever reason, is very disingenuous. The locals are not telling the full story.
I loved Alice Springs. Now I’m glad my family moved out. It’s heartbreaking.
Yes agreed, it's not for racism but family lore and custom. No drink or drugs strong spirit
Yes, it's a bit one sided, unfortunate!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s a bit disappointing to see the young ones disrespect the elders rules.
I never knew that. I genuinely thought it was entirely the government's decision.
Fully. The government lifted the bans and the elders pleaded until they were put back on.
I wish to God everyone could read your comment
I reckon you should do an 'OUTTA THE HOOD' series and show people from these hoods who have gotten out of there situation for the better and share their stories to inspire change in these communities, just an idea. 🙏
Just watch a drake music video. He to started from the bottom
I'd love to watch that
I thrive off negativity
@@elpresidente1990 i understand
Someone says your car is bad
So you make it bad ass?
💯. This type of stuff is only promoting the behaviour.
There is VERY good reason they limit alcohol in those areas.
It's based on a person's address & if they have somewhere 'safe' 2 drink it. (ie, out of sight.) It applies 2 others (travellers not just homeless) without an 'appropriate' address. They didn't go into any of that tho. It basically comes down 2 racism. If u haven't lived there u wouldn't notice how invasive it is. Can't even sit down @ a coffee shop 2 wait 4 friends without being moved on 4 no good reason.
@@jadecawdellsmith4009 they have BDR and I know white people that are on BDR I also know a non indiginous person in Darwin that has no alcohol sign on his fence
Yes and when they limit that they drive 2000 km to South Australia to get more
@jadecawdellsmith4009 it's not racist live there
@jasonpatterson2143 whats the problem I bet I could go out tomorrow night in my town and film a whole bunch of white fighting in the streets just as bad and iv seen white black people Asians all races fighting drunk in the streets it's just racism to exclude the people and you wonder why they don't like white people they aren't even allowed in the clubs if they are they can only have 1 or 2 drinks iv experienced this and I'm not from Alice Australia is just racist like u pos
The measures they are taking to restrict alcohol sales is one of the most responsible things the government are doing, respect.
Which is why living in a small country town on the southern coast of Australia I have to show ID because they drive down here when they can't get it in the territory .
I had a friend do a stint as a copper in Alice. He said it was pretty common advice for people visiting that "If you hit someone on the road in the middle of the night, don't stop to check. Call the cops and drive to the police station. If you get out your car you'll probably be killed or seriously injured by friends/family of whoever got hit." I was a bit skeptical... but seeing this... I dunno man. I could see that shit happenning pretty easily.
Yep
Ive seen it happen, the driver was a security guard and was lucky enough to have backup arrive very quickly. The woman who was hit was chased onto the road by a fella with a stick, he turned on the guard blaming him when it was clearly his own fault.
Bit of context, it was night time and the two had been chasing each other up and down the road yelling abuse and throwing things at each other. The police had been called but as is usual it can take several hours for them to get around to attending.
Common advice for any third world country (Nicaragua, Guatemala, etc.)
I have hit 2 on my motorbike in Alice. Both at night. Went straight to the police station and reported it. Was never charged as both were blind drunk.
Having experience of life in the outback, I would agree. I had a friend that lived her whole life in Mt. Isa, she was driving home one night and there was a wake at the hotel outside of town. A brawl broke out and spilled onto the road, unfortunately she hit someone, didn't hurt them in any way, but they pulled her out of the car and bashed her within an inch of her life, she was 69 years old. She spent months in the hospital trying to recover, she never did. She no longer felt safe living there as nothing was done and no charges pressed. I know from first hand experience having gone through a stabbing in Sydney involving and indigenous person, she stabbed her partner 7 times with 5 different steak knives, she got a 3 month good behaviour bond.... go figure. I was advised by the Police that if she was white she would have spent at least 15 years in jail. They wonder why we don't treat them as equals.
51:40 The contrast between Spanian being in shock at the knife and machete brawl and the local saying "let's ogg" with a massive smile on his face is crazy
I was coming here to say this lmao
I noticed that too
deadset 😂😂
Honest in the mist of all madness too.. lol whatta lad that cracked me up 😂
Australian always laugh at Asian and called us third world country but it seems Asia is much safer than Australia LOL
"i cant control myself and its someone else's fault." - sounds legit
Exactly right, take responsibility for yourself.
That shirt, the way the young lady came up and gifted it to you, awesome. I'd rock with one of those shirts, awesome to see someone doing positive things for themselves and sharing their culture.
Gifted oh my god you're such a Google sheep
Incredibly honest portrayal. He speaks about royalties (those guys are smart), he visits town camps, he speaks about pay back and calls it out as an eye for an eye. The highlight is seeing Alice at night, completely raw. Even spanian is warry and can't believe what he is seeing. He misunderstands the banned.drinkers register. He is right to point out it is discriminatory but does not realise it is actually the local elders and communities that want to be dry. A must watch for anyone interested in the territory
I bet all the women and children who get bashed by drunk partners love the banned drinkers register. As someone with an alcoholic father who grew up in a very similar neighborhood in the late 80's early 90's during the recession, alcohol is literally the Devils Piss. Alcohol should be banned Australia-wide. This country has a drinking problem. Unfortunately, indigenous people are prone to alcoholism in the same way pacific islanders are prone to diabetes - their bodies simply aren't conditioned to it as Europeans have been for thousands of years, same as Islanders with high sugar foods. Anyone who has lived in areas with lots of indigenous folk for long periods of time know that all too well.
He’s only going off what he’s being told by the people showing him around. There’s no houses in Sydney with alcohol banned signed so of course he’s going to be spinning out. I remember the first time I went to Alice in 2004
hmm
The BDR exists for a reason, its not racist its harm minimisation
@@robo_au2004 Alice was a nice place. 2024 they destroyed it.

Gonna check out your music bruz. If your rapping is half as good as your tour guide skills you’ve got a new fan!!
Fr though bro, you def got a good head on your shoulders and I wish you all the success!
I lived in Alice about 25 years ago. It was on the downhill then. I'd never go back. The town was lovely. The day folk are mostly good, but the mobs of first nations youth are bloody scary. I was called so many racist names and given so many threats just because I wouldn't hand over money. What amuses me, in the case of Alice Springs, is racial profiling not a consequence of one group of people acting out? If it was another race acting out, would they be called out and outed, yes.
what if the only people out committing crimes at 3am were from the communities? That wouldn't be racial profiling then.... that would be criminal act profiling.
Out of all the recent news stories and docos about Alice Springs, this is by far and away the best. Gives a real insight that nobody else has been able to. Keep up the great work Spanian.
Stumpz is so well spoken. Good conversationalist & listener. Would watch more content w him in it 👏🏾
Thank you bra I appreciate the kind words 🙌🏼
Big up stumpz

Did an awesome job telling it matter of fact how the NT really is
@@Stumpz.Officialwhat a weapon brother
The Elders understand alcohol is a scourge. Being able to drink yourself blind and inflict violence on your children, family and neighbours is not a human right. The cops who try to protect women and children from alcohol fuelled domestic violence should be applauded not disrespected.
exactly , these kids are roaming the streets and stealing cause they are starving and parents are drunk , dv outta control never in school . Thier parents just as 'untouchable' as 8 year Olds. The 8 year Olds are just children but. These 'Elders' should be charged with neglect and responsibile elders given funds and housing to foster them with thier own people.
This is a big point that was misconstrued in the interview. The elders don’t want the occupants of the camps drinking.
Alcohol fuelled chaos is not welcome in there camps.
It’s not racial discrimination
It’s self preservation.
Exactly!!!!
Why should they be given more money? If they had to work or create for themselves they wouldn’t have time to have idiotic turf wars.

Did you hear the comment about them getting royalties?
Every Australian is entitled to dividends from our natural resources.
We are one of the richest countries in the world.
We have so much that we should never have to pay income taxes and should have superior infrastructure.
Something worth looking into but you’ll have to dig deep they hid it well.
A two week curfew for under 18s (must remain indoors, at home or a safe place, from 6 pm to 6 am) has just been declared in Alice as well. Shows really how bad the situation has gotten.
the under 18's are the main ones roaming around Woodridge Qld at night too. ( i was in a drop in centre fri, sat nights). Ethnic gangs too. Would you believe they like learning to play chess and checkers.
@@shereepfeiffer6356Listen, I don’t mean to sound like a bigot, but what ethnicity are these people? The comment about chess reminds me of a few groups
@@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477 oh, we old folk brought in the board games and musical instruments, dvd's etc to share, and people gave us food for the kids and juice drinks etc. It was mainly Kiwi's against Aboriginals and some whites (especially in the very young like 12yo's who were having sex and smashing shop windows). If you gave them a DVD player they would smash it in the middle of the road. Probably took it off the kid who did want it. Twirl their scooters all through the place. Steal things like digeridoo's but then have a war and bring it back to us. Girls would come in screaming and covered in bruises and sit right up the back with me, with a few big hefty men up in front. One big volunteer we had was an ex con so he was great. We also had a preacher who knew Aboriginal elders etc'. I was a musician but good at yelling and getting kids to behave a bit. We also had the kids who would talk to the groups and tell them to settle down, like gang bosses but they were too loosely organised to call them gangs. More like friend groups with enemy groups. One white kid was truly evil all on his own but he also had followers. Some were gentle souls who had to get out of the house for the night. All different, good and bad, even within all races and types.
How's it working out?
@@alanmac8807 Just been extended, so, make of that what you will.
After watching this, I’d say Alice Springs will be scratched from my list.
Great insight Spanian 🇱🇧 👌👍
This has been more educational about Indigenous Australian culture than any of the crap the government tries to tell us… thank you so much for this. My perceptions have been expanded having watched this.
In what way?
What culture?
Getting drunk, bashing kids, blaming white people.
That culture.
@@StriatedSternum
@@AdrianPrust-eh9npYou go out on a Saturday night and white people do the same thing in every other state and capital city. You’re a racist bigot. These are kids with no guidance or role models other than african american gangsters living in shit environments.

I feel a lot of love in your heart. Thank you for your insights into places I would never have the courage to visit. God bless, Anouche.
I've worked and lived around a lot of aboriginal people. From what I have seen a lot of the problems they face come from within their own families, communities and culture.
The most important thing they need is strong leadership and role models in their lives.
As for the booze - universally it causes problems everywhere it shows up.
We shine through our ancestors. We build, they destroy
Not clueless white MFS coming up with ideas from their office ...
I hear you, but how can you rely on your family when their great and great great grandparents from not too many moons ago were treated the way they were.
Unfortunately the intergenerational trauma cycle is not as easy to break and some would think.
@@rainvekios110 especially when we aren't taught both sides of the story in schools have suburbs and statues in tribute to mass murderers... The acknowledgement to the events of the past are basically non existent.... White Australians expect them to forget and move on like nothing happened its not our place to make that call ..... They don't want to be apart of our society then leave them be .... We stole their land and expect them to sit by and take it .... If somebody treated your grandparents the way they were treated how would yu react? Yu would expect the justice system to compensate yu for your loss .... Yet we don't extend the same courtesy.....
They have not had generations and generations of exposure to booze like Europeans ,, so I think it really hits them harder and the heat is a bad combo
I was born in Alice Springs, moved away decades ago and never been back. All I can say is children are a direct result of their parents.
I guess you were one of those thugs in this video
@@tonyscott4082You described yourself
sorry i don't agree the children are direct result of our government system
I'm not sure as a person not from this country this looks like extreme oppression on the ethnic group of this country and that's probably why the youths are like that because the racism here is disgusting I can't believe this what Australia is like yet I'm not surprised this is sad
Yes well those kids don't get to see real Aboriginal people in the media or on social media or anything like that, they're never the ones making the decisions it's always people of mixed blood so of course the only people they see that looks like them are the African American gangsters . Maybe if we actually allowed some full bloods to have a say in the whole situation they may have some pride in their own culture instead of thinking that only white Aborigines can succeed
One of the best and authentic reports I've seen latetly! Keep up the good work. Props to all of you guys.
I used to work in and out of Alice. On my first visit I was told ‘When they give the world an enema Alice is where they’ll stick the tube’.
Honestly, it's pretty impressive the amount of infrastructure and shops present considering there's barely 30K population.
just money pumped in by the federal government, wasted by the actual residents.
And for a hood, the city looks very clean. American hoods are dirty with litter everywhere.
we give them everything and they still treat it like shit
30k is still pretty high. Idk, if you've ever been to Broome in WA, that has only 15k population max, and has a pretty good amount of shops and stuff
This is because of Pine Gap, a shitload of spooks live in Alice Springs.
It's a shame when a girl has been knocked out and people are running around with machetes and no-one blinks an eye. Scary and sad. Let's hope things change for the better, for everyone.
Part and parcel of abo culture.

Stompz should be hired as lead security. He was on point.
less than 900,000 indigenous . Federal Gov gives them over $40 billion . Mining Royalties over $20 billion . This is every year . Where does the money go ?
The Aboriginal industry activists skim 95% and keep it for themselves, the rest is for art galleries!! That’s it!!
60,000,000,000 AU$ ÷ 900,000 = 66,666.66 AU$ per person a year if the government paid each person directly. That would be a monthly stipend of 5,128.20 AU$ or weekly it's 1282.05 AU$. I don't know the situation there with rent costs and utilities, but if it was just paid directly to each person a month or weekly... That's not too bad.
Yea we are all waiting for that answer. Noticed how the black activists of the yes campaign have gone very quite???
If they had to work like the rest of us they wouldn’t have time for mindless turf wars.

I think it's a subconscious call for help... Even if they don't realize that themselves, they look up to someone who has experienced what they have in life, but has also learnt from their "school of hard knocks" and decide to change and move out of that. It's definitely something to look up to, like an addict whom kicks their addiction. It's a hard path to walk and it's why we aspire to be like those who have already walked it.

I am so sad to see what has happened to the Alice over the years. I lived in Alice and worked at the TV station just behind Todd Mall from 1996-7 and I would finish work when the TV station closed transmission (1-2am in the morning) and walked the 1km back to my home, bought things from the Coles (open 24h/day) and did not feel unsafe at any time during those 2 years. I worked alongside Aboriginal people that I had a great respect for and valued their abilities and dedication to the work we did.
I visited for 2 nights in 2017 and it had changed so much. It wasn't even quite like the video, but I could see the transition to the lawless town it has sadly become now. The video shows me how everything has deteriorated since my last visit. It used to be Tennant Creek had the bad reputation and The Alice was better, but it may be the situation is now reversed.
It's sad to c the decline & lack of resources & help. Unfortunately Tennant creek is still as bad, probably worse. There r even fewer resources & less people out there trying 2 fix the problems that lead 2 hopelessness & violence. TC is basically just a stop off 4 fuel 4 most people. People don't usually go there 4 holidays like they do Alice so there's even more lawlessness cos cops r focused on the Alice or elsewhere.
This is great. Thank you for this comment

Went to Alice Springs a couple of years ago. Ventured to the heart of the city, felt so unsecured I left straight away and never came out of my hotel until I left. The only place in Australia where I felt scared.

Alice Springs is very dangerous especially at night.
We went to a similar but smaller place; Bourke. We told our hotel we'd arrive at about 10pm. They said we had to get there before 9 because they close the 11 foot gates and don't open them for anything.
I'm hearing you. I'll never go back and it will be a ghetto in a couple of years. All the whities, who keep the place like it is, will leave and see how long it will take before it is destroyed. Like Boggabilla, NSW.
🤣🤣🤣
The reason these communities are interrogated at bottleshops is because they carry on like lunatics when they are drunk.
Then don't sell drink...if its such a problem nobody should be earning..everybody goes a bit mad on the drink once or twice in there life but I'm pretty sure sober folks can go just as crazy if push them but bottom line it's human rights too consume that's what laws are for if you break the law u go court but banning people will only store up anger beetween diff groups..you think they can't make own booze easy enough it's easiest thing in the world...but letting one group drink n others not is only gonna cause tension should treat all the same...
It’s actually because aborigines can’t process alcohol properly. Their bodies digest 1 unit per 4 hours whereas most other people digest 1 unit an hour.
Most people do alcohol kills so many brain cells it's a depressent
Aboriginals can’t process alcohol properly
The truth in one sentence. It is also a loaded, politicised racial topic...but basically it boils down to an attempt at harm reduction for everyone. Which is a good thing.
Incredible video Spandogg!!!!!!!!!!
I miss Alice 😍 Nice video brother! Thanks for sharing
Man this is genuinely eye-opening. It's one thing to see those snippets of violence in the news, but to see the whole context around it raw like this is just mindblowing. I hope the govt is watching these carefully.
The government doesn't care.
I'm sure some of them are, and they couldn't care less. The scumbag bureaucrats don't care unless it happen to them.
watching what?
this isnt new info, the goverment knows about it.

Wow, fantastic expose there Spanian. I am a travel nurse, I was submitted for a contract in Alice. Glad I didn't end up going through with it. I think my heart would break each day having to deal with all the stabbings, assaults rampant alcoholism and a city at breaking point. Too much for this gentle soul.
You actually missed out. My time at the hospital there was the highlight of my career.
All sorts of injuries come through the Alice ER such as star picket stabs, axe wounds while my mother was working it as a nurse an aboriginal woman came in with a headache turns out her sister stabbed a kitchen knife in the top of her head and snapped off the handle. The blade was through the roof of her mouth and somehow survived.
Honestly man spanian has shown at LOT more than any news channel or networks within Australia. Going in and documenting EVERYTHING about these towns is doing way more than any other news channel.
Doing what exactly?
Yep, the media in Australia is all controlled by the left, so they will never show the aboriginals in a bad light. Hence why we never hear anything about it in the mainstream media.
What did you actually learn from watching this video that you didn't already know. It's a genuine question, can you tell me?
@@dimitrimatsacos7859 he can't because he's got Spannians d in his mouth
You need too watch more ABC or SBS....spanian touched on nothing compare too what these two channels have done over the last 20,30 or even 40yrs.
I knew a guy that went to Darwin too work and his second night on the piss,,he was walking home and got too a street that had maybe 20+ aboriginals out the front of a house getting rowdy. He said they all looked at him and started pulling off fence pickets and chasing him. He said he’d never ran so fast in his life,he said Darwin is wild😂.
So your mate has an alcohol problem as well?
this is alice
@@nickmartin812 bro get real would you, how do you not know he went for a couple beers and left 😂 🤡

I absolutely love that after a life of prison you are doing something so inspiring. You go young man!
"Doing something inspiring"?
Glorification of criminality
Self promotion
Changes nothing
Exposes nothing
Good for Spanian's bank account and what does he personally contribute to these communities?
Nothing at all. Just lots of camera shots of himself.
One sixth (1/6) of life in prison*
@@bigm1534 yeah, and once a crim always a crim.
Ask "Big Kash" about Spanian and his activities in Glebe abusing underage girls
@@ChrisJensen-se9rjit’s not about exposing and change isn’t an immediate thing. Having locals explain how horrible the situation is, the stories behind it, showing raw footage of the mayhem that ensues spreads awareness. Awareness is a huge piece of eventually enacting change. Change is a very long process and awareness is necessary
Lived there a few years ago and lived in Kalgoorlie for a number of years, both pretty similar if you ask me. Chaos
The girl that gave you t-shirt seems really sweet
Every Australian needs to watch this video. If this was going on in a major city, it would dealt with extremely quickly. Because it’s happening in such a remote location, most Australians don’t even know about it.
You can’t deal with a mentality
You ever been to the valley, or King St, or Hindley St late on a Saturday night?! Reckon it's much different.
I live in a regional town where nearly 10% of the residents are indigenous. If the groups gathering and having wild brawls were white, the police would make arrests. If the groups were indigenous, only the most violent of the perpetrators would be arrested. Police have told me that they are under instructions to go easy on indigenous people, for fear of being labelled racist.
Can't be harsh or you'll be labelled racist
It was on the news about 5 months. Current affairs, news etx just how out of control it is. They tried too put curfews in place
Back in Covid I travelled around Australia and the camps and Alice Sorings was the biggest culture shock even travelling around the world nothing compares I accidentally ended up in a camp barely anyone spoke English but in the camps people where so friendly Alice Springs was so sketch left straight away haha
Wow looks a lot different from when I was living there, used to go Bojangles there all the time, good times back then (2000-08) ..You are like a big celebrity there lol
Seeing a guy like spanian who was brought up in one of the roughest areas in Sydney looking visibly shocked when he was in Alice Springs really showcased how much the government tried to sweep all this under the rug. Cheers for showing us how the situation really is and appreciate all your hard work
Surry Hills is one of the roughest places in Sydney? lmfao
Always blaming the government is the MAJOR cause of these problems.
It takes the people to make a township work

Love how they said the cop was at fault for lighting that kid up. They leave out the part he charged them with a knife its on body cam.
Classic woke victim mentality
Always a victim it’s embedded in them
you would think a fully trained police officer would be able to able to not kill a kid for charging at him with a knife. Thats the point lol
life or death situation they have every right to shoot. maybe dont charge a cop with a knife? but nah its racism@@imanoob5201
They left that part out cause they don't want to get there head stomped on by the families of the dead kid, remember it's a small town.
i remember visting alice springs, the barb wire, the gang fighting, bro i was scared to get outta the car. Altho one of the good thing about alice springs is the aboriginal people bcs they still know and speak the language which is insanly rare in Australia
Just found this channel, lived in aus for a couple years now, and this guy is the most Australian sounding guy I've ever heard😂😂😂
Stumpz was a solid pick for your guide in this video. Good head on his shoulders.
Thank you bra 🙌🏼
Should have had a guide on both sides tho.. this is called embedded reporting, look it up. The fact that he's white doesnt look like he represents the white community in Alice at all.
Obviously the issues there are VERY 2 sided, why the 1 sided approach?? Its as bad as if you had only talked to the white community there and no aboriginals..

I was raised in the projects in Russia during the Soviet Collapse, then got adopted and then put in the group home after living 3 years with the adoptive family, and the dumbest thing I witnessed living in these type of neighborhoods is young dudes willing to die for a block they dont own
What do you mean when you say "young dudes willing to die for a block they don't own"...cumn from Russia ur knowledge of Aboriginal culture and Traditional Lores clearly ain't sumthn ur aware of... and Russia was never invaded by another country or Nation.... my people the Aboriginal people of this country have been here for thousands and thousands of years and Traditional Lore at Alice Springs is very much alive unlike most parts of Australia where many of my people have lost their languages and traditional customs and Lores thx to colonization.... therefore there is so much difference between ur experience than wotz going on with my people.... much respect to ur people and ur country but u cannot compare wotz happened to my people since colonization to anything u may have experienced in ur Motherland...as THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ALL OF AUSTRALIA IS OUR MOTHERLAND.... that we have lived upon for thousands and thousands of years and our connection to our land is probably the same as it's in Russia
@@rosiekickett2617 There needs to be more books written on the Aboriginal genocide.

I do have hope though, as my daughter's generation have compulsory education - her and her peers are proud and respectful of the Aboriginal culture. Many older Australians still have this ignorance as you read in these comments. A lack of comprehension of the dispossession and abuse .
Also you have many Indigenous -women especially - Amy McQuire, Chelsea Watego , Melinda Mann ( to name a few) rising in writing and academia .
@@annanudniduck yes I totally agree and thank you for recognizing that Aboriginal people have many issues that are still relevant today as it was since colonization... and I'm not 1 to go on about the past but until sumthn is done to recognize many of those issues then how can we move forward as a Nation ...thx for ur respect for my people ♥️🖤💛
Thank you for your perspective.
That's true, its stupid and sad .. we used to have postcode gangs that would hate on & bash each other just because they lived in another postcode.

I lived and worked in ALice back in 2021, with Stumpz for a while actually. I can confirm the guy is solid as a rock and such a good guy. I have never been in a place like Alice where I have felt so unsafe in my entire life, even as an older guy that has been in scuffles (by no means a fighter) I was legitimately petrified at some of the things I saw and experienced. In saying that there are so many beautiful people up there and I will be back to visit.

I remember coming here for School Excursion/Camp from a School in eastern Suburbs of Melbourne when we were 16 years old or year 10. I don't think they will still be coming here for excursion anymore!
drove through here as a backpacker 8years ago from Adelaide to Darwin and got abused within 5mins. We left the same night. Felt safer on the road.
I lived in Alice Springs for 3 months in 2004. The streets were safe to walk through at night. I can’t believe they are proud what the town is like now. Absolute disgrace.
It is significantly worse now, but the streets were never safe at night - not for women at least.
I totally agree with you. How embarrassing to the elders and indigenous communities that want us and the rest of the world to believe they are peaceful ppl, then to show this place and the ppl in it to the rest of the world.. pathetic and disgraceful. Absolutely a shit show.
9yrs of a corrupt lnp government cutting and transferring funding from indigenous to golfing clubs doesn't help .
The streets were never really safe :(
Not everyone is proud!
I use to live in Alice Springs for almost 10 years and funny enough Dane was my old house mate and a family friend! The first few years of living in Alice, in my experience was good. Didn't have any issues with getting broken into, up until my last year of living there. Got to the point where my anxiety would rise when leaving the house for work. The fights and crime got worse each day that goes by and it was scary. It's sad that the media doesn't show and explain what truly happens in that town. I hope that something good will happen for Alice to shine once again.
😢
I doubt it…What a mess…
I did a trip to Uluru and stayed in a Hostel in Alice springs back in 2012, they said do not go out at night as its very very dangerous. We were absolutely fine, met loads of decent locals etc (maybe just got lucky?!)
I had abit of scary do when leaving Alice Springs.. Me n a lass drove out of Alice n filled up at first gas station, with our life in our car.. not long after, a car with blacked out windows drove along side us..then took off.. it was pulled up around a bend on the left..there was a guy stood out of the back door, telling us to pull over..they were 3 guys in the car.. i didnt bother, then the car set off at speed following us.. i ended up flooring my old 2.2 suberu to get away, but couldn't really pull away, this went on all the way to near Tennant Creek.. by that point, i has slowly pulled away, at the same time not blowing my engine..it had dark too,.and was a relief to see their lights slipping further back.. we missed the Devils marbles too..gutted we had to shoot right past them..we ended up pulling into Tennants Creek and waited at a big gas station, before camping in a compound..god knows what would of happened if our car had let us down! I had just recently put a new radiator on it, by myself, so was dreading it was guna blow again😅

I worked in Alice for about 5 months, small drainage company from Perth WA, every night we’d leave our main work truck with all our tools and generators locked up at the police station, even had one of our work utes stolen from the house we were staying at behind a padlocked gate

My mates went there and left pretty damn quick they said it felt like a town of dangerous inbreeds.
inbreeds what just like monarch british is that what you mean casper
I love the way they all drive cars I couldn't afford on a full time wage.
and the houses and good roads, who paid for all of that I wonder
Makes you sick the govt burns our tax dollars this way
The day the PM came to town, Bush Bus (company that busses people to the communities) went to all the town camps in the morning and shipped out everyone they could.
The government literally ships people out of town for their photo shoots.
Same thing happened in tennant creek the place was a ghost town
Putrid lil governments and how alot of Aboriginals fell for that 💩 was amazing aswell as the yes vote I couldn't believe that the indigenous actually fell for all that bs
I don't blame them.
It's all performative BS what Australia does for the Aboriginal people. No authentic change . Do you know recently Albanese voted 'no' to enshrining UNDRIP into Australian law, including the Indigenous senators, who have to follow party line and their big salaries and mining companies pulling strings. What a kick in the face to the First Nations people following referendum outcome.
An accurate portrayal of this was in "Total Control". It's on ABC iview . All the parliamentary BS, appearing concerned about the Aboriginal people whilst using them for political gain
Lol very much doubt every community and wasn't some big ones roads were cut off from flooding?
bruh there are some crazy talents out of Australia id love to see more boxers coming up the gym looked pretty good and rival is a great brand.
If you are visiting Alice Springs and you get accosted by the feral locals; offer your potential assailants a job and see them immediately scatter in fear.
You saw how there were houses with boarded up windows, and made constant reference to the fact booze was banned from town camps.. but did you ever question WHY this is so?
You perhaps could’ve spoken to the victims in hospital from domestic violence to understand WHY it is the way it is.
And have you ever asked the question why they are so addicted to alcohol or better yet WHO!!!!! Introduced them to this destructive substances killing and destroying there culture and families???? That's a better question

This place seems to have heavy American influence. I counted at least 4 U.S sports jerseys. Orlando magic, New York jets, Miami dolphins, phoenix suns. All of the kids were throwing up crip and shouting ‘east side young n*ggas’. There was even a Wild West saloon on the strip.
Yep. Too unsophisticated to create their own culture.
Gang worshippers.
The are heavily influenced by the African Americans . Gangs, violence, rape, drugs etc. thank you African Americans for bringing your pathetic culture to Australia.
The sad thing is that black Americans have zero interest in Indigenous Australians, even Beyonce commented negatively on them, yet they all want to be black American! It's embarrassing.
all those sports jersey they wear is just for style honestly they dont even know about the teams but yeah i agree heavily influenced
