Hi Tom

I don't think removal is practical where would we remove them to; Arnheim Land?, they are the wrong tribe; wouldn't be welcome there. No unfortunately they belong in central Australia, obviously we have tried assimulation but it hasn't worked, they don't share the value system of the broader community. The aboriginal community is underrepresented in all groups in broader population excepting the prison population, disadvantage, alcoholism, unemployment, health problems and our intervention hasn't done much to change this.

As far as your assertion that the Cronulla riot proves anything about other groups, it does not. I see that in the context of the unrest existing in other places at the time. Australia wasn't the only place to experience such outbreaks, but Alice is different, we see this sort of thing in other places; Redfern, Dubbo,etc too although the answer applied is like your answer; disperse the troublemakers into other communities so that the trouble is multiplied, it doesn't do anything to solve the problem. There is no homeland to send them too, no vacant land they could exist on. Aboriginal Australia is tribal and like it or not outsiders arn't welcome
