Nothing should be done?
Every female that was murdered in the NT last 12 months was aboriginal
Sydney - The central Australian tourist town of Alice Springs could claim the world record for stabbings, a doctor said on Tuesday.
Chief of surgery at Alice Springs Hospital Jacob Ollapallil said most stab victims were Aboriginal women and almost a third of them were drunk when they were brought in.
"We spend a lot of resources to treat these patients but we are not looking past the surgical department and the emergency department to see what's a cause for these trauma cases," Ollapallil said.
"In all health issues, traumatic injury and death are the most preventable."
Around 2 000 Aborigines live in shacks in Alice Springs, almost all of them relying on welfare.
