Thanks Luke for your post. I found it interesting.

The question that disturbs me is we aren’t asking why there are the levels of alcoholism and abuse of all kinds that exist.

Could it be that aboriginal communities structure have been torn apart by our (white peoples)interference over the past 200 odd years?

If I have no hope, no vision for any form of future, how am I not going to enter into self-destructive behaviour?

Yes we need to deal with the problems of alcohol, substance and sexual abuse but we also need to deal with the causes of these. From my little knowledge the problems are huge, there are no simple answers and it will be time consuming and expensive to address. It can however be done.

Why Warriors Lie Down and Die provides a great explanation of why plans like the government’s won’t work and how we can do better.
