Instead of protesting police brutality, activists should be protesting the high rates of family violence within the Indigenous community, according to Alice Springs Councillor Jacinta Price. Research conducted by Curtin University Hannah McGlade found Aboriginal people are 37 times more likely to be hospitalised than non-Aboriginal women when it comes to non-fatal assaults. In remote areas and in the Northern Territory, the rate of hospitalisation is 86 per cent higher.
Ms Price told Sky News activists are focusing on Indigenous deaths in custody, despite recent figures from the Australian Institute of Criminology that found Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are less likely to die than non-Indigenous prisoners while incarcerated. “People want to be outraged, but their outrage is clearly selective,” she said.
JNampijinpa But that is untouchable so blame the whites. This goes for all the so called activists who are the band wagon and will notice Aboriginal ties are generations passed

JNampijinpa I recently did a responsible service of alcohol for South Australia and Northern Territory. In some indigenous communities transporting alcohol through is illegal and some communities have taken the step of prohibiting the use of petrol vehicles. That s addressing the problem.
pwafork JNampijinpa No ! We don't talk about that ,OK
JNampijinpa Typical poor me whinging from the black activists, when so many are their own worst enemy. They could be cleverly active in bringing about positive change within their own community, but fail to listen to the really good leaders who set such a great example.
JNampijinpa Exactly.
JNampijinpa Too true....
JNampijinpa Police brutality is a non issue in Australia. Our police are some of the best in the world. Only reason this became an issue is because of what happened in America.
JNampijinpa I’m assuming they can talk and walk at the same time
JNampijinpa Murdoch media is a right wing conservative political organisation that is infested with nauseating sycophants operating under the pretence of journalism.
JNampijinpa I think protesting both is in order actually. You know you can do more than one thing at a time.
JNampijinpa It's not either/or. But you already knew that Rupert
JNampijinpa They don't care about anyone's lives, no, just their own hyper sensitive emotions. Oh, and communism too of course
JNampijinpa
JNampijinpa But you have to appreciate the completely predictable response from the Murdoch media and Trumpsters. 'Hey! Don't look at our racism and institutional inequality and lack of any action to address it. They can't even sort themselves out, the losers.' One created the other.
JNampijinpa Por que no las dos?
JNampijinpa Why not both? Walk and chew gum.
JNampijinpa Compassionate people are working to resolve both issues it’s just that one requires a protest. Most would have thought at least one individual at would be clever enough to work that out. 🙄
JNampijinpa False dichotomy. You can do both, but only one suits Murdochs narrative.
JNampijinpa So true I’ve been saying this for sometime during these BLM activist times. Not one of those activist have ever stood up for indigenous women or children to stop violence and sexual assaults.. It doesn’t fit their agenda.. let’s call them out..
JNampijinpa Jacinta - what policy do you propose I agree with you, perhaps we could trial in in Alice Springs
JNampijinpa Yes spin more garbage from News Corpse the rotting, festering Propaganda Arm of the LNP.
JNampijinpa 🙈🙉🙈🙉
JNampijinpa It's not either/or. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
JNampijinpa Why not both?
JNampijinpa Selective ‘truth telling’.
ToomeyWright JNampijinpa How very true. Many domestic issues to resolve first
ToomeyWright JNampijinpa Exactly!
JNampijinpa
JNampijinpa In some communities, 9/10 indigenous children have been raped by a family member.
JNampijinpa Why not both?
JNampijinpa Spot on. When these BLM marchers confront this fact then I might actually take notice. They don’t care about aboriginal kids or females. If they did they would be screaming about these facts.
JNampijinpa So the idea SKY/News Corp is pushing is to ignore the problems associated with the police and the Indigenous community as much as possible? Deflecting to other social issues. A gutter opinion piece and clickbait for the freaks.
JNampijinpa Not 'instead of protesting', but rather 'should also be protesting'.
JNampijinpa Unfortunately BLM is not about black lives. It’s about ideology. Many of the protestors genuinely care, even if they have no idea what to do. However the Activists don’t give a hoot. They just hijack the Black cause and others for their own agenda.
JNampijinpa Disgusting and needs to be highlighted! march against this !!
JNampijinpa Virtue signalling is easier and faster than actually taking the time to help solve the problem! And they get to score some 'Social Justice Credits' while they are at it!
JNampijinpa But they held up a sign that said 'Indigenous Lives Matter' (which I agree they do), surely that was enough to fix the problem?🙄 Gotta look into why the violence happens and what triggers it, and look at fixing! Prevention is better than a cure!
JNampijinpa And instead if kneeling for criminal scum George Floyd sporting teams including afl players & umpires should be kneeling for the 4 police officers tragically killed on the Eastern Fwy in April..
JNampijinpa BLM only when it's white against black. If they really cared this would be of greater importance.
