Sam Watson says End the racist NT intervention now!

“You don’t deal with issues of alcoholism and drug addiction with police. It’s a health issue, not a law and order issue. You need properly funded drug and alcohol services in Aboriginal communities, not more police and bureaucrats”.

The Socialist Alliance spokesperson concluded by pointing out that a properly funded program of positive discrimination for Indigenous people in education and training and a real Indigenous job creation campaign could have started to solve the problems of Aboriginal communities’ hopelessness years ago.

As Malcolm X once said, "You cannot have Capitalism without racism."
