Yun I agree that this is more headlines and probably won't work (although the idea of actually providing more police is one valid point)... what do you think needs to be done to
a) Stop the current issues in the short term.
b) In the long term diminish the problems.

Personally I think rather then looking after the Solomons we should be sending more of our police into these communities and engaging them to help themselves. More education targeting health and more access to health resources... remove all the porn, alcohol and child abuse... you still have a place that is so remote that basic health services are extremely difficult to provide to.

I don't think throwing more money at the issue via the aboriginal councils will work as they have shown very little progress with what they have done so far. Abstudy and scholarships by all means.
