Checkerboard i reckon you're pretty right there mate.

There are so many complex issues in regard to the Aboriginal communities up North, especially when it comes to drinks! In this case what should be done? If the community has "self determined" that they want booze, then isn't that their call? The alternative would be paternalism, and we know how that went over last time!

I had all the problems solved in my first month up there. Then at the three month mark i wasn't so sure anymore. By six months i knew, i knew nothing.

These blokes at Wyndham Aviation probably didn't feel so great about flying booze, but they are not responsible for the actions of the adults that bought it!

Cheers
