Can I just give massive props to the main guy who showed you around, answered every question and was 1000% honest, knew heaps about the town, etc. big up.
Wow, that is utter chaos. Too many youth with too little to do. Reminded me of a daycare filled with too many high energy toddlers and not enough activities and toys, except these kids had knives and machetes. At least no guns. Nice of you to acknowledge the people with so much respect. I think they appreciated being seen.
@@mrkring1526they’re not black either 😅 Black is a racial classification to describe peoples of sub-saharan ancestry. Aboriginal melanesian or darker skin Indian are not black and are actually the farthest away genetically from black peoples. Don’t confuse genotype with phenotype 😊
This is pretty bad a lot of it seems to be pretty random violence and anger, though I feel like eventually more sophisticated organizedorganized crime groups, and gangs are either going to form or move In and bring money and weapons with them and when they do god help you 😅
Bro, dead set I don't think anyone else has ever shown sheltered folk like us down in Sydney what Alice is like, that was fkn insane. You're doing legit fantastic journalism man.
Gratz to your guide bro honestly. Bro got your back in every interaction you got with people. Never took his eyes of the people that were coming up to you in case they do something. Mad respect him to both of these guys. Especially the guy in blue shirt and white hat. Perfect guide/friend.
The end 20mins of this video is the most mental thing I’ve seen come out of Australia. That being said, Spanian hasn’t failed once to deliver the most informative and raw footage of what life really is like around the disadvantaged places in Australia and the world. Much love from Brissy
I wouldn't say the world mate a lot of the places he's been I've been and he never shows them at night when the real shit happens like on this video! But will agree this one is mental!
@eleleven3694 even though a lot of these Hoods have a sense of family and respect, the areas in which they are indeed disadvantaged compared to other suburbs and towns around Australia. It’s sad because these areas lack a lot of amenities that a lot of people not from there take for granted. Yes they have schools and parks, but people don’t feel safe because of the crime. So yes, the areas are disadvantaged in that respect.
@@tonyallen8626 wasn’t my point. It’s deeper than that. Compare someone living in an area where there’s a heap of crime, money is scarce because of the place they live in, and shops are closing down because they don’t feel safe, to someone living in an area where that doesn’t cross their mind once. Claymore compared to Bondi. Claymore is disadvantaged in that sense compared to Bondi.
"that being said" such an important and necessary term. NOT redundant or an example of being a sheeple to follow the latest popularised phrase AT ALL......
The drinking ban is not about racism!! Most elders support the alcohol ban. Check what goes on to small children in some of those communities, the ban is to save them.
Your one of those one's that listened to John Howard's bullshit about paedophile rings they had such a problem with in those communities And thought it was reasonable to rashen their water usage in remote communities...
The craziest thing about this episode is that if you google Alice Springs theres just a bunch of tourist websites trying to get you to visit. This stuff just gets brushed under the rug.
The thing nobody mentions about Alice Springs is there is an American spy satellite military base there. That is probably why it set up for "tourists" and "travelers". They no doubt cater to the inflow of US dollars.
As an Alice local yes it does, because our towns economy relies on 3 things... Tourism being one, indigenous royalty money every couple of months give a good boost also and then there's the workers.. we produce fuck all, if people really knew how bad Alice was and didn't come here, the town would half die
Gonna check out your music bruz. If your rapping is half as good as your tour guide skills you’ve got a new fan!! Fr though bro, you def got a good head on your shoulders and I wish you all the success!
I reckon you should do an 'OUTTA THE HOOD' series and show people from these hoods who have gotten out of there situation for the better and share their stories to inspire change in these communities, just an idea. 🙏
I think it is important for people who have no idea about Indigenous communities to understand what is a “dry community”. If you live in a “dry community” , the community and the elders have CHOSEN not to have alcohol. If you live in this type of community you are not supposed to drink, you cannot have alcohol in the community or bring it in. You are not supposed to go out of the community and then go back in, drunk. The way it is being portrayed here, for whatever reason, is very disingenuous. The locals are not telling the full story. I loved Alice Springs. Now I’m glad my family moved out. It’s heartbreaking.
"It's apparently like third world country"- people in third world countires don't behave like this, neither they are getting payouts from government that encourage the locals even more. Australia needs to get their shit together and control the situation. It's time to stop financially supporting this behaviour.
I was born and lived over 40 years in Alice. My Dad and brother still live there. My 83yo Dad has been broken into several times, hospitalised. This isn't the town I grew up in 😢. I've reserved my burial plot next to my Mum. It will always be home. Intervention needs to happen to allow people to feel safe.
I grew up there, too, and it was pretty bad when I lived there. My dad is 60 and works at the hospital there, and I worry about him. It's rough as guts out there. I still see it as my home, too, regardless of how it is. I hope your dad is okay ♥️
Out of all the recent news stories and docos about Alice Springs, this is by far and away the best. Gives a real insight that nobody else has been able to. Keep up the great work Spanian.
Incredibly honest portrayal. He speaks about royalties (those guys are smart), he visits town camps, he speaks about pay back and calls it out as an eye for an eye. The highlight is seeing Alice at night, completely raw. Even spanian is warry and can't believe what he is seeing. He misunderstands the banned.drinkers register. He is right to point out it is discriminatory but does not realise it is actually the local elders and communities that want to be dry. A must watch for anyone interested in the territory
I bet all the women and children who get bashed by drunk partners love the banned drinkers register. As someone with an alcoholic father who grew up in a very similar neighborhood in the late 80's early 90's during the recession, alcohol is literally the Devils Piss. Alcohol should be banned Australia-wide. This country has a drinking problem. Unfortunately, indigenous people are prone to alcoholism in the same way pacific islanders are prone to diabetes - their bodies simply aren't conditioned to it as Europeans have been for thousands of years, same as Islanders with high sugar foods. Anyone who has lived in areas with lots of indigenous folk for long periods of time know that all too well.
He’s only going off what he’s being told by the people showing him around. There’s no houses in Sydney with alcohol banned signed so of course he’s going to be spinning out. I remember the first time I went to Alice in 2004
51:40 The contrast between Spanian being in shock at the knife and machete brawl and the local saying "let's ogg" with a massive smile on his face is crazy
This has been more educational about Indigenous Australian culture than any of the crap the government tries to tell us… thank you so much for this. My perceptions have been expanded having watched this.
@@AdrianPrust-eh9npYou go out on a Saturday night and white people do the same thing in every other state and capital city. You’re a racist bigot. These are kids with no guidance or role models other than african american gangsters living in shit environments.
white ppl are to blame but put cuase they put them in positions for black ppl it was decisions so both are to blame but just both of them are doing wrong they should do a liqour ban but they dont
I had a friend do a stint as a copper in Alice. He said it was pretty common advice for people visiting that "If you hit someone on the road in the middle of the night, don't stop to check. Call the cops and drive to the police station. If you get out your car you'll probably be killed or seriously injured by friends/family of whoever got hit." I was a bit skeptical... but seeing this... I dunno man. I could see that shit happenning pretty easily.
Ive seen it happen, the driver was a security guard and was lucky enough to have backup arrive very quickly. The woman who was hit was chased onto the road by a fella with a stick, he turned on the guard blaming him when it was clearly his own fault. Bit of context, it was night time and the two had been chasing each other up and down the road yelling abuse and throwing things at each other. The police had been called but as is usual it can take several hours for them to get around to attending.
Having experience of life in the outback, I would agree. I had a friend that lived her whole life in Mt. Isa, she was driving home one night and there was a wake at the hotel outside of town. A brawl broke out and spilled onto the road, unfortunately she hit someone, didn't hurt them in any way, but they pulled her out of the car and bashed her within an inch of her life, she was 69 years old. She spent months in the hospital trying to recover, she never did. She no longer felt safe living there as nothing was done and no charges pressed. I know from first hand experience having gone through a stabbing in Sydney involving and indigenous person, she stabbed her partner 7 times with 5 different steak knives, she got a 3 month good behaviour bond.... go figure. I was advised by the Police that if she was white she would have spent at least 15 years in jail. They wonder why we don't treat them as equals.
@@Stumpz.Official You seem like a good young fella with your head screwed on. I love your XR6 bro. Is it a Turbo?... It sounds like one. Thanks for being Spanians tour guide. Legend brother.💯💪💪👍👍
Shout out to Stumpz and Harley for showing you around and being fantastic guides, absolute legends! 👏 You got a much better insight into the place as a whole having these two brilliant dudes with you and introducing you to the community. They were both so chill and friendly and very helpful, also love Stumpz's rad car! 🤙 This was definitely the best Into The Hood episode yet, it was a real eye opener that certainly shone a light on an interesting community which has clearly got more than it's fair share of social problems but also highlighted the community spirit that still exists. Spanian you just keep on raising the bar with these insightful vlogs, you're well and truly the best out there brother! Cheers to everyone involved in this video, what a hectic, crazy ride! 🤙👌👊
My absolute pleasure man, you did an awesome job and came across as such a great dude! You deserve all the credit that you're getting. All the best bro, big love from the UK. 🤙👊 @@Stumpz.Official
I've worked and lived around a lot of aboriginal people. From what I have seen a lot of the problems they face come from within their own families, communities and culture. The most important thing they need is strong leadership and role models in their lives. As for the booze - universally it causes problems everywhere it shows up.
I hear you, but how can you rely on your family when their great and great great grandparents from not too many moons ago were treated the way they were. Unfortunately the intergenerational trauma cycle is not as easy to break and some would think.
@@rainvekios110 especially when we aren't taught both sides of the story in schools have suburbs and statues in tribute to mass murderers... The acknowledgement to the events of the past are basically non existent.... White Australians expect them to forget and move on like nothing happened its not our place to make that call ..... They don't want to be apart of our society then leave them be .... We stole their land and expect them to sit by and take it .... If somebody treated your grandparents the way they were treated how would yu react? Yu would expect the justice system to compensate yu for your loss .... Yet we don't extend the same courtesy.....
Went to Alice Springs a couple of years ago. Ventured to the heart of the city, felt so unsecured I left straight away and never came out of my hotel until I left. The only place in Australia where I felt scared.
We went to a similar but smaller place; Bourke. We told our hotel we'd arrive at about 10pm. They said we had to get there before 9 because they close the 11 foot gates and don't open them for anything.
I'm hearing you. I'll never go back and it will be a ghetto in a couple of years. All the whities, who keep the place like it is, will leave and see how long it will take before it is destroyed. Like Boggabilla, NSW.
Showed this to my Year 9 class today. A group of boys that usually can't stay still for 5 seconds were glued to the screen and we had a big chat afterwards about how the role of police changes in different parts of Australia, why so much violence exists in the NT and what could be done to stop it. Thank you for what you do - big fan!
I guess it's good to discuss these things. I think we need to get back to basics, enforce the laws, don't pussy foot around just because people are from a minority group etc. There was a shocking lack of policing going on in that video. They only showed up at the very end.
@@KM-pq7sr The problem is they can't enforce laws. Police have had most of their effective powers stripped, they are so undermanned that it is a miracle you saw a police officer in the video at all. No-one wants to be a cop in the Territory after the Rolfe case because, even though he was found not guilty (and according to every standard for use of force, every single shot he took was justified because his oppo was being actively stabbed until AFTER the final shot), and it's even put off other Commonwealth armed law enforcement who are under NT jurisdiction (AFP, Border Force, Defence Force - NB, Defence and Border Force are both armed law enforcement on the northern Australian border, but NT based assets actually fall under NT coroner jurisdiction if force is used) from wanting to deal with potentially violent jobs up here because of the utter feeling of betrayal and lack of support when force is required. Especially after the coroners court has basically argued the opposite of what the criminal court found. And, even if force is effectively used and the suspect detained, 99.999% of the time they'll be back out the next week doing exactly the same thing, so why even bother? It's much easier just to let people destroy each other than it is to enforce laws that won't be backed up by the government or the courts. Peace stopped being a part of the Territory years ago - it's just taken this long for other people to realise the fact.
You are a good teacher. Used to work in a state school in QLD and saw too much trashy stuff and nonsense teachers introduced to students. Keep up your great work. THANK YOU!
This gives me hope in the education system. This should be shown to high school kids. It opens so many political and socioeconomic discussions that kids usually find dull and boring. Brilliant teacher. Thankyou for your service to our future leaders, bless you 🙏
@@sa25-svredemption98 I take your point. It's going the same way in parts of the US and UK. Police are resigning in their droves because the system seems to be against them now. It's not worth risking life and limb to enforce the law when you may end up in jail yourself just for doing your job. But the anti Police agenda seems to mainly come from the left wing. Just look at the mess they made in Portland Oregon with the anti Police agenda.
I am so sad to see what has happened to the Alice over the years. I lived in Alice and worked at the TV station just behind Todd Mall from 1996-7 and I would finish work when the TV station closed transmission (1-2am in the morning) and walked the 1km back to my home, bought things from the Coles (open 24h/day) and did not feel unsafe at any time during those 2 years. I worked alongside Aboriginal people that I had a great respect for and valued their abilities and dedication to the work we did. I visited for 2 nights in 2017 and it had changed so much. It wasn't even quite like the video, but I could see the transition to the lawless town it has sadly become now. The video shows me how everything has deteriorated since my last visit. It used to be Tennant Creek had the bad reputation and The Alice was better, but it may be the situation is now reversed.
It's sad to c the decline & lack of resources & help. Unfortunately Tennant creek is still as bad, probably worse. There r even fewer resources & less people out there trying 2 fix the problems that lead 2 hopelessness & violence. TC is basically just a stop off 4 fuel 4 most people. People don't usually go there 4 holidays like they do Alice so there's even more lawlessness cos cops r focused on the Alice or elsewhere.
Im from sydney and i was roadtripping through adelaide to darwin with my family in the last school holidays. i vividly remember looking out my hotel window at 10:00 and seeing someone pinned to the ground while the assaulter held a knife in one hand with a bunch of people sorrounding them. absolutely crazy town.
I would never want to go there and see it anyways.Not safe to walk around and go out for a nice meal with friends at night without being caught up with the drunken violence…..much nicer places to holiday in with this beautiful country…….
@@Stumpz.Official Was trying to figure out why someone like yourself you still lives there. You speak well and have loads of potential. Wishing you all the best Stumpz.
@@Stumpz.Official hey bro! I live in Alice too mad props to you two boys for taking him on a real tour of Alice. I’ve been in Alice for 10 yrs and my line of work (tradesman) takes me to all the communities in the NT. I’ve never ever had an issue anywhere not been scared. If you show respect you get respect back it’s that’s simple. All I see is we all have a big problem in this country black fella or white fella and all In between. Our fucken corrupt foreign owned government!!! It’s time to rise all of us untied as 1 against this absolute traitorship. They want us divided but we are waaay better taking it them untied and drain the swamp. Fkn woke leftist Marxist ideology needs to go. 🙏✌️ peace brother
I lived and worked in ALice back in 2021, with Stumpz for a while actually. I can confirm the guy is solid as a rock and such a good guy. I have never been in a place like Alice where I have felt so unsafe in my entire life, even as an older guy that has been in scuffles (by no means a fighter) I was legitimately petrified at some of the things I saw and experienced. In saying that there are so many beautiful people up there and I will be back to visit.
@@sebble6218 I was attacked by a group of 15+ kids one night, thankfully I was by a large gate so I could escape but as I was retreating they were throwing bottles and rocks. I literally had to hide behind something and run for cover while they were trying to shower me with anything they could find. I had literally done nothing and even though I would usually try to defend myself it is not like I can hit a kid and there were so many of them. I already knew that might happen as a guy much larger than myself with a boxing background had the same thing happen and was in hospital for a week.
Bro, the side you're showing me of my country... nobody else would show this. I'm touched to be let into these people's live and situations. I'm starting a social work cert this year and this really lights a fire in my belly to get out and help brothers and sisters that want it and need it. You're making the world a better place doing this Span.
Nah man that's the thing! I don't watch TV, and this kind of thing has never really touched my reality. My partner has been to tribal societies as part of her uni degree, and I know a lot about their art culture and some of their history, but I was blind to some of the realities of these places. Maybe I'll go look at some of those doco's now.
The problem with all these 'documentaries' are they are just woke BS. They are blame everything on the white man. Generational trauma. Why aren't the descendents of the convicts going off due to generational trauma? Because it is a BS excuse to behave like laws don't apply. Why don't the woke media do documentaries on those Aboriginals who have done great things with their lives? Because it goes against the aboriginal industry that gets more than 30 billion dollars a year funding. You can't do anything that would endanger that cash flow that bugga all makes it to those in need but keep the supply of new Toyota Landcruisers going for a select few.
@@heyimshakesWhere are you going to look at said docos ? Don't rely on the internet is all im saying, get deep into those video archive's at national libraries of Australia.
Man props to the boxing Gym coach. Ppl don’t understand how hard it is but how good it feels to do positive things after a life of crime. Making positive change and growth by helping youth to keep them off the same path you did is a great feeling. Trying to balance out that karma for your past. Much respect to him. I made the same changes, I now travel and give motivational speeches to at risk youth all over Canada 🇨🇦. 💯💯💯
Thank you for speaking directly to the people who know what’s happening, not scared to get right in the middle and talk to everyone, a really balanced story. “Flies alone will make you want to fight”, priceless:-)
I'm not sure as a person not from this country this looks like extreme oppression on the ethnic group of this country and that's probably why the youths are like that because the racism here is disgusting I can't believe this what Australia is like yet I'm not surprised this is sad
Yes well those kids don't get to see real Aboriginal people in the media or on social media or anything like that, they're never the ones making the decisions it's always people of mixed blood so of course the only people they see that looks like them are the African American gangsters . Maybe if we actually allowed some full bloods to have a say in the whole situation they may have some pride in their own culture instead of thinking that only white Aborigines can succeed
Respect Spanian, another revealing visit. Your guides were top & had the local goods, but man you were a full on celeb! People were so stoked to have you there & you were so accommodating to everyone. Nicely done.
So much surrounding the issue of alcohol wasn’t discussed. The extortion of the black market through secondary supply (which you demonstrated), the regular drinking of hand sanitiser from hospital, the reinstating of alcohol restrictions in an attempt to curb staggering rates of DV! And the prevalence of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I was expecting worse from this episode honestly. However having lived in the Alice 10 years ago, it’s utterly heartbreaking to know what it’s become.
Yeah and it was weird that Spanien was treating the alcohol bans like a negative thing that they are doing to innocent people. Like they literally have to ban the alcohol to stop people going crazy and drinking themselves to death.
Alcohol.. the bane of my exsistence. I always wanted to get away from the people around me yhat indulged, and couldnt for 18yrs but my time came. I can only imagine fir the people there that know of better and want to escape but cant.
@amitysucks Because they use listerine as alcohol and huff the deodorant to get high. Let's not prevent the evil government is preventing the locals from having fresh breath and nice smelling arms lol. All these rules are put in place to stop the local population from abusing everything in site to destroy their lives.
FASD is under reported everywhere in Australia. And the impact of this disability is lifelong for the individual, their family, community with schools etc needing to accommodate more children with FASD, governments funding & wider society. And sadly it's 💯 preventable 😢
Sure, but that would have been missing the point. Alcohol is just one of the problems people can inherit, and it's only one part of the picture here. Had the maker focused on alcohol, insight into the broader humanity and experience of his subjects would have been compromised. It would have made them seem like a symptom of alcohol, not fully realised individuals with lots of other influences - good and bad. I also totally get why he was angered by the bans. When you're with people who don't personally care for the bans, that's to be expected. But more importantly .. to approve and suggest it's for their own good, is to paternalise. He wasn't there to do that. Yes we know the bans help, but this wasn't the time or place to discuss that. We would not have this raw but remarkable documentary, had he gone down that road.
I use to live in Alice Springs for almost 10 years and funny enough Dane was my old house mate and a family friend! The first few years of living in Alice, in my experience was good. Didn't have any issues with getting broken into, up until my last year of living there. Got to the point where my anxiety would rise when leaving the house for work. The fights and crime got worse each day that goes by and it was scary. It's sad that the media doesn't show and explain what truly happens in that town. I hope that something good will happen for Alice to shine once again.
I knew a guy that went to Darwin too work and his second night on the piss,,he was walking home and got too a street that had maybe 20+ aboriginals out the front of a house getting rowdy. He said they all looked at him and started pulling off fence pickets and chasing him. He said he’d never ran so fast in his life,he said Darwin is wild😂.
Honestly man spanian has shown at LOT more than any news channel or networks within Australia. Going in and documenting EVERYTHING about these towns is doing way more than any other news channel.
Yep, the media in Australia is all controlled by the left, so they will never show the aboriginals in a bad light. Hence why we never hear anything about it in the mainstream media.
I spent 6 years in the Kimberley of Western Australia in a town called Derby. After I left, the crime rate sky-rocketed even further than when I left. Alice Springs is definitely worse, but the crime in Derby was pretty hectic.
I'm not going to lie bro, I've been going through some hard times, this channel helps bring it back down to earth, keep it up. Missed you in Dandenong. Stay strong brother. Melbourne love.
The cop was stabbed in the neck before he shot the kid. A kid who bashed his girlfriend. And handouts are not working. To many city flogs running the money with no idea.
Correct. His own family called the police to come and get him, he then lied about his identity and attacked them with scissors. The police officer was exonerated because he proved that he only followed the training he received from the NT Police Academy, which was that edged weapon = knife, which means you can shoot in self defence. The NT police tried and failed to make him the officer a sacrificial lamb.
Similar thing happened when I lived in Kalgoorlie, a young kid stole a dudes bike, the dude saw it all happen and chased after the kid in his car. The kid crashed the bike into a tree trying to flee and sadly died, then the whole town went into lock-down for over a week due to riots because families wanted to kill the dude that chased the kid. It's wild!
And they also forgot to mention the reason he ended up bleeding out was cause the hospital staff left cause the day before he went in there with a axe that’s why the cops got called out there
Should have had a guide on both sides tho.. this is called embedded reporting, look it up. The fact that he's white doesnt look like he represents the white community in Alice at all. Obviously the issues there are VERY 2 sided, why the 1 sided approach?? Its as bad as if you had only talked to the white community there and no aboriginals..
I’m dying at how you’re trying to take in what is happening, trying not to die, and the people are like “oh, that? That’s nothing. Lemme get in your video!” 🤣😭
Bro glad you went there.. I’m of Māori heritage but was born and grew up in Alice.. never used to be like this. Alice was a great place to grow up in, still have family and my best mates that still live there.. I grew up over in Larapinta been all over those hills as a kid, parents never were worried about us as kids as long as we were back before the street lights came on we were good.. I miss the old Alice.. I live back in NZ now
Yeah its true back in the 80s and early 90s it was not at all like this at all. Darwin had much more problems with longrassers fighting eachother back then more so that alice springs
Man this is genuinely eye-opening. It's one thing to see those snippets of violence in the news, but to see the whole context around it raw like this is just mindblowing. I hope the govt is watching these carefully.
Crazy to think that I've lived for 40 years in this country and don't know a fraction of what's going on in it because the only source of information was from mainstream media and the news. It took relatively unknown RUclipsrs like Spanian and Avi Yemini to travel around, get amongst it and show the real stories. RIP mainstream propaganda!
We know what happened it was never this bad. Everything changed when the police went woke. Now kids as young as 9 or 19 are wandering the streets at night. Kids are not going to school either which is illegal but natives get a pass.
Just because your indigenous doesn't mean the kids should get off free from doing crimes. This whole thing about not punishing them because of the past is complete bullshit. It seems like it's gone too far to fix sadly.
Every Australian needs to watch this video. If this was going on in a major city, it would dealt with extremely quickly. Because it’s happening in such a remote location, most Australians don’t even know about it.
I live in a regional town where nearly 10% of the residents are indigenous. If the groups gathering and having wild brawls were white, the police would make arrests. If the groups were indigenous, only the most violent of the perpetrators would be arrested. Police have told me that they are under instructions to go easy on indigenous people, for fear of being labelled racist.
Eye opening brother ! No one else could get this kind of access and respect out there. You are killing it mate ! The content is fire and best of all you and the videos are genuine 🙏
I loved working out of Alice but knew to be back at the hotel by 14.00. Sadly. That was 2018 up until Covid. It's deteriorated really quickly. The locals have been begging for help for such a long time. Cheers Spanian for shining a light of raw truth on this, it will hopefully help in a positive way. It's a special place.
Prayers for the people of Alice Springs. Had no idea somewhere like this existed in Australia. American hoods this is everywhere. This really opened my eyes.
I worked in Alice for about 5 months, small drainage company from Perth WA, every night we’d leave our main work truck with all our tools and generators locked up at the police station, even had one of our work utes stolen from the house we were staying at behind a padlocked gate
Being a NZ born, QLD resident, i have a overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Spaniard having a dig and opening our eyes to what it’s like for people who are literally living down the road.
Back in the 80's we were camped just outside of Alice Springs, slept with a 🔫 beside us and let the dogs out literally, only heard corroboree's like noises and load talking. Work up the next day, checked the dogs in the ute and headed off to SA for work. Happy days.
My bro was a bouncer in alice springs he been stabbed up multiple times he got outta there quick fast lucky to be alive he said its the meanest place hes worked at
Alice is a tough place, alcohol destroys 1st nation social cohesion very quickly! Many of them don’t eat bush tucker (which sends them crazy from lack of traditional oils & nutrients only found in bush tucker) it was the elders of those neighbourhoods that had the no alcohol ban put in place not the government! Another terrible tragedy was 1st nation kids sniffing solvents (chroming petrol) the Australian government went to huge lengths to make sure opal fuel (unsniffable petrol) was rolled out across the state! And due to a massive lack of 1st nation respected male elders (father figures) the communities children run amok! It’s not a law enforcement issue, it’s a social cohesion one!
@@jsh4btThis is what happens when a government is in power for 9 yrs and steals ,cuts and transfers indigenous funding to golf clubs . Eg Dutton and the LNP crime family.
I think it's a subconscious call for help... Even if they don't realize that themselves, they look up to someone who has experienced what they have in life, but has also learnt from their "school of hard knocks" and decide to change and move out of that. It's definitely something to look up to, like an addict whom kicks their addiction. It's a hard path to walk and it's why we aspire to be like those who have already walked it.
Alice Springs must produce a lot of fighter pilots, doctors and surgeons. The absolute cream of Australia's youth. I've never seen such hard workers. Impressive.
I was raised in the projects in Russia during the Soviet Collapse, then got adopted and then put in the group home after living 3 years with the adoptive family, and the dumbest thing I witnessed living in these type of neighborhoods is young dudes willing to die for a block they dont own
What do you mean when you say "young dudes willing to die for a block they don't own"...cumn from Russia ur knowledge of Aboriginal culture and Traditional Lores clearly ain't sumthn ur aware of... and Russia was never invaded by another country or Nation.... my people the Aboriginal people of this country have been here for thousands and thousands of years and Traditional Lore at Alice Springs is very much alive unlike most parts of Australia where many of my people have lost their languages and traditional customs and Lores thx to colonization.... therefore there is so much difference between ur experience than wotz going on with my people.... much respect to ur people and ur country but u cannot compare wotz happened to my people since colonization to anything u may have experienced in ur Motherland...as THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ALL OF AUSTRALIA IS OUR MOTHERLAND.... that we have lived upon for thousands and thousands of years and our connection to our land is probably the same as it's in Russia
@@rosiekickett2617 There needs to be more books written on the Aboriginal genocide. Never been more ashamed to be Australian after watching John Pilger's documentary "Australia's Dirty Secret" I do have hope though, as my daughter's generation have compulsory education - her and her peers are proud and respectful of the Aboriginal culture. Many older Australians still have this ignorance as you read in these comments. A lack of comprehension of the dispossession and abuse . Also you have many Indigenous -women especially - Amy McQuire, Chelsea Watego , Melinda Mann ( to name a few) rising in writing and academia .
@@annanudniduck yes I totally agree and thank you for recognizing that Aboriginal people have many issues that are still relevant today as it was since colonization... and I'm not 1 to go on about the past but until sumthn is done to recognize many of those issues then how can we move forward as a Nation ...thx for ur respect for my people ♥️🖤💛
Thank you for your perspective. That's true, its stupid and sad .. we used to have postcode gangs that would hate on & bash each other just because they lived in another postcode.
I backpacked oz in 2016 and ended up relocating campers for a bit. stopped in alice overnight and had a guy threaten me with a pair of scissors for absolutely no reason. Nothing happened luckily but the place was pretty wild.
Seeing a guy like spanian who was brought up in one of the roughest areas in Sydney looking visibly shocked when he was in Alice Springs really showcased how much the government tried to sweep all this under the rug. Cheers for showing us how the situation really is and appreciate all your hard work
This place seems to have heavy American influence. I counted at least 4 U.S sports jerseys. Orlando magic, New York jets, Miami dolphins, phoenix suns. All of the kids were throwing up crip and shouting ‘east side young n*ggas’. There was even a Wild West saloon on the strip.
The are heavily influenced by the African Americans . Gangs, violence, rape, drugs etc. thank you African Americans for bringing your pathetic culture to Australia.
The sad thing is that black Americans have zero interest in Indigenous Australians, even Beyonce commented negatively on them, yet they all want to be black American! It's embarrassing.
That was a soft night in Alice, I lived there 15 yr ago. I worked in the 24 hour store just down the road from Bojangles , 11 til 7 in the morn. Thursday Friday, regular saw at least a hundred people or more out front arguing fighting and more.
did some contract work along todd mall in 2020. both my toolboxes were stolen in the space of 3 days. learnt the hardway to chain and bolt them down lol. different breed up there for sure.
To all mob who are NOT on the street, who value country, self worth and who have the courage to face past traumas and make change - I see you! Education, love for self and each other. Wishing you all the very best ✌🏿🌻
went there for overnight FIFO work twice around 2000, give or take a couple of yrs. the owner of the hotel told us if we go to the casino drive there and back. DO NOT WALK back at night or you WILL be ganged up on and robbed. always travel by car at night and dont stop anywhere for too long. Even during the day the parks near one of the main shopping centres (todd mall i think?) had drunk indigenous adults fighting each other and anyone passing through it was a real eye opener.
Looks like everyone wants to feel bad for these people without any thought that they created the hell they live in. Ive been through hoods all over America and in different countries and the same theme is always there. The communities allow this stuff to happen. They blame everyone and everything else except themselves. No personal accountability or responsibility. There are plenty of poor communities that dont have this kind of chaos because they police their own.
@@kspau13 Nah not even I reckon what need to take place is the need to stfu trying to be sarcastic, But you really are funny tho honestly you probably look it to
Went there about 12 years ago for a week visit, it's a big difference from other major cities like Sydney or Melbourne, which most tourists don't expect. It was a big reality check even back then visiting. Until you go and see it for yourself, you'll only see what the media shows you. It's somewhere in Aus, that everyone should definitely at least visit once just to experience and see for yourself. Definitely an eye opener. It's a beautiful part of the country though. All the locals I met were great! polite, friendly and respectful. Just gotta always remember, that there's good and bad people no matter where you go. And, always treat others with respect. This was well put together, props to Spanian. ✌️
I lived in Alice Springs for 3 months in 2004. The streets were safe to walk through at night. I can’t believe they are proud what the town is like now. Absolute disgrace.
I totally agree with you. How embarrassing to the elders and indigenous communities that want us and the rest of the world to believe they are peaceful ppl, then to show this place and the ppl in it to the rest of the world.. pathetic and disgraceful. Absolutely a shit show.
that footage is just speechless. I have never ever seen something so out of control. What a total failure of government policy. Good on you spanian for showing us how it actually is because the media never paint the same picture.
It’s a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. Cops get called racist for enforcing the law. They’re blaming the cops when the blame is squarely on them. The cops are doing everything they legally can and if it turns to a police state then oh well not the cops fault.
So sick and tired of hearing people like you talking about the failures of the government policy where people will not be accountable for their own actions .I still have close friends that are indigenous from when we were youngsters and they work hard with good homes.Stop the blame game.
Was awesome to see an insight into another well-known Australian city that we only ever hear about on the news. Also the video was made far better with the inclusion of your mates touring you around (in particular Stumpz), being able to give insider info and extra value to the video. Cheers lads.
I visited Alice Springs last October with my girlfriend after visiting Uluru. You definitely have to be vigilant when walking around the streets. We never wandered outside at night and never carried anything with us when browsing around. Positive experience was I bought a lot of aboriginal souvenirs, lol

The end 20mins of this video is the most mental thing I’ve seen come out of Australia. That being said, Spanian hasn’t failed once to deliver the most informative and raw footage of what life really is like around the disadvantaged places in Australia and the world. Much love from Brissy
I wouldn't say the world mate a lot of the places he's been I've been and he never shows them at night when the real shit happens like on this video! But will agree this one is mental!
People that are disadvantaged don't get to run around like a bunch of idiots where and when ever they like without consequences.
@eleleven3694 even though a lot of these Hoods have a sense of family and respect, the areas in which they are indeed disadvantaged compared to other suburbs and towns around Australia. It’s sad because these areas lack a lot of amenities that a lot of people not from there take for granted. Yes they have schools and parks, but people don’t feel safe because of the crime. So yes, the areas are disadvantaged in that respect.
@@tonyallen8626 wasn’t my point. It’s deeper than that. Compare someone living in an area where there’s a heap of crime, money is scarce because of the place they live in, and shops are closing down because they don’t feel safe, to someone living in an area where that doesn’t cross their mind once. Claymore compared to Bondi. Claymore is disadvantaged in that sense compared to Bondi.
"that being said" such an important and necessary term. NOT redundant or an example of being a sheeple to follow the latest popularised phrase AT ALL......
The drinking ban is not about racism!! Most elders support the alcohol ban. Check what goes on to small children in some of those communities, the ban is to save them.
May not be because of racism but they are definitely racist, I’m not even from there and I was rejected by at least 4/7 shops I tried to shop at
It may not be a racism thing but it's definitely a control thing before you know it one rule for all of Australia
The most dangerous city in australia has alcohol restrictions? What are the chances?
100% bro
Your one of those one's that listened to John Howard's bullshit about paedophile rings they had such a problem with in those communities And thought it was reasonable to rashen their water usage in remote communities...
The craziest thing about this episode is that if you google Alice Springs theres just a bunch of tourist websites trying to get you to visit. This stuff just gets brushed under the rug.
We put a show for the lads, for sure. Everyone knew he was about.
The thing nobody mentions about Alice Springs is there is an American spy satellite military base there. That is probably why it set up for "tourists" and "travelers". They no doubt cater to the inflow of US dollars.
Yeah probably because this dude just went there looking for trouble and got an hour of footage of him dapping people up and taking pics….
Let’s see them after china shows up
As an Alice local yes it does, because our towns economy relies on 3 things... Tourism being one, indigenous royalty money every couple of months give a good boost also and then there's the workers.. we produce fuck all, if people really knew how bad Alice was and didn't come here, the town would half die
As an American I only knew this place exists because Outback Steakhouse has a menu item called Alice Springs Chicken and it’s banging.

I'd love to watch that
I thrive off negativity
💯. This type of stuff is only promoting the behaviour.
especially with aboriginal australians
They'd be 100% better with a ban on alcohol and similar products. These communities need psychological therapy and rehabilitation programs.
I think it is important for people who have no idea about Indigenous communities to understand what is a “dry community”. If you live in a “dry community” , the community and the elders have CHOSEN not to have alcohol. If you live in this type of community you are not supposed to drink, you cannot have alcohol in the community or bring it in. You are not supposed to go out of the community and then go back in, drunk. The way it is being portrayed here, for whatever reason, is very disingenuous. The locals are not telling the full story.
I loved Alice Springs. Now I’m glad my family moved out. It’s heartbreaking.
Yes agreed, it's not for racism but family lore and custom. No drink or drugs strong spirit
Yes, it's a bit one sided, unfortunate!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s a bit disappointing to see the young ones disrespect the elders rules.
I never knew that. I genuinely thought it was entirely the government's decision.
Fully. The government lifted the bans and the elders pleaded until they were put back on.
I wish to God everyone could read your comment
"It's apparently like third world country"- people in third world countires don't behave like this, neither they are getting payouts from government that encourage the locals even more. Australia needs to get their shit together and control the situation. It's time to stop financially supporting this behaviour.

Immigration from the 3rd world is a real blessing.
Out of all the recent news stories and docos about Alice Springs, this is by far and away the best. Gives a real insight that nobody else has been able to. Keep up the great work Spanian.
Incredibly honest portrayal. He speaks about royalties (those guys are smart), he visits town camps, he speaks about pay back and calls it out as an eye for an eye. The highlight is seeing Alice at night, completely raw. Even spanian is warry and can't believe what he is seeing. He misunderstands the banned.drinkers register. He is right to point out it is discriminatory but does not realise it is actually the local elders and communities that want to be dry. A must watch for anyone interested in the territory
I bet all the women and children who get bashed by drunk partners love the banned drinkers register. As someone with an alcoholic father who grew up in a very similar neighborhood in the late 80's early 90's during the recession, alcohol is literally the Devils Piss. Alcohol should be banned Australia-wide. This country has a drinking problem. Unfortunately, indigenous people are prone to alcoholism in the same way pacific islanders are prone to diabetes - their bodies simply aren't conditioned to it as Europeans have been for thousands of years, same as Islanders with high sugar foods. Anyone who has lived in areas with lots of indigenous folk for long periods of time know that all too well.
He’s only going off what he’s being told by the people showing him around. There’s no houses in Sydney with alcohol banned signed so of course he’s going to be spinning out. I remember the first time I went to Alice in 2004
hmm
The BDR exists for a reason, its not racist its harm minimisation

This has been more educational about Indigenous Australian culture than any of the crap the government tries to tell us… thank you so much for this. My perceptions have been expanded having watched this.
In what way?
What culture?
Getting drunk, bashing kids, blaming white people.

I had a friend do a stint as a copper in Alice. He said it was pretty common advice for people visiting that "If you hit someone on the road in the middle of the night, don't stop to check. Call the cops and drive to the police station. If you get out your car you'll probably be killed or seriously injured by friends/family of whoever got hit." I was a bit skeptical... but seeing this... I dunno man. I could see that shit happenning pretty easily.
Yep
Ive seen it happen, the driver was a security guard and was lucky enough to have backup arrive very quickly. The woman who was hit was chased onto the road by a fella with a stick, he turned on the guard blaming him when it was clearly his own fault.
Bit of context, it was night time and the two had been chasing each other up and down the road yelling abuse and throwing things at each other. The police had been called but as is usual it can take several hours for them to get around to attending.
Common advice for any third world country (Nicaragua, Guatemala, etc.)
I have hit 2 on my motorbike in Alice. Both at night. Went straight to the police station and reported it. Was never charged as both were blind drunk.
Having experience of life in the outback, I would agree. I had a friend that lived her whole life in Mt. Isa, she was driving home one night and there was a wake at the hotel outside of town. A brawl broke out and spilled onto the road, unfortunately she hit someone, didn't hurt them in any way, but they pulled her out of the car and bashed her within an inch of her life, she was 69 years old. She spent months in the hospital trying to recover, she never did. She no longer felt safe living there as nothing was done and no charges pressed. I know from first hand experience having gone through a stabbing in Sydney involving and indigenous person, she stabbed her partner 7 times with 5 different steak knives, she got a 3 month good behaviour bond.... go figure. I was advised by the Police that if she was white she would have spent at least 15 years in jail. They wonder why we don't treat them as equals.
I love how friendly everybody was though during the day! Everybody coming up and saying hi and stuff.

Went to Alice Springs a couple of years ago. Ventured to the heart of the city, felt so unsecured I left straight away and never came out of my hotel until I left. The only place in Australia where I felt scared.
wow but i would have done the same thing you would think you were on another planet but there are other places in Australia where you can feel safe
Alice Springs is very dangerous especially at night.
We went to a similar but smaller place; Bourke. We told our hotel we'd arrive at about 10pm. They said we had to get there before 9 because they close the 11 foot gates and don't open them for anything.
I'm hearing you. I'll never go back and it will be a ghetto in a couple of years. All the whities, who keep the place like it is, will leave and see how long it will take before it is destroyed. Like Boggabilla, NSW.
🤣🤣🤣
Showed this to my Year 9 class today. A group of boys that usually can't stay still for 5 seconds were glued to the screen and we had a big chat afterwards about how the role of police changes in different parts of Australia, why so much violence exists in the NT and what could be done to stop it. Thank you for what you do - big fan!
I guess it's good to discuss these things. I think we need to get back to basics, enforce the laws, don't pussy foot around just because people are from a minority group etc. There was a shocking lack of policing going on in that video. They only showed up at the very end.
@@KM-pq7sr The problem is they can't enforce laws. Police have had most of their effective powers stripped, they are so undermanned that it is a miracle you saw a police officer in the video at all. No-one wants to be a cop in the Territory after the Rolfe case because, even though he was found not guilty (and according to every standard for use of force, every single shot he took was justified because his oppo was being actively stabbed until AFTER the final shot), and it's even put off other Commonwealth armed law enforcement who are under NT jurisdiction (AFP, Border Force, Defence Force - NB, Defence and Border Force are both armed law enforcement on the northern Australian border, but NT based assets actually fall under NT coroner jurisdiction if force is used) from wanting to deal with potentially violent jobs up here because of the utter feeling of betrayal and lack of support when force is required. Especially after the coroners court has basically argued the opposite of what the criminal court found. And, even if force is effectively used and the suspect detained, 99.999% of the time they'll be back out the next week doing exactly the same thing, so why even bother? It's much easier just to let people destroy each other than it is to enforce laws that won't be backed up by the government or the courts. Peace stopped being a part of the Territory years ago - it's just taken this long for other people to realise the fact.
You are a good teacher. Used to work in a state school in QLD and saw too much trashy stuff and nonsense teachers introduced to students. Keep up your great work. THANK YOU!
This gives me hope in the education system.
This should be shown to high school kids.
It opens so many political and socioeconomic discussions that kids usually find dull and boring.
Brilliant teacher.
Thankyou for your service to our future leaders, bless you 🙏
@@sa25-svredemption98 I take your point. It's going the same way in parts of the US and UK. Police are resigning in their droves because the system seems to be against them now. It's not worth risking life and limb to enforce the law when you may end up in jail yourself just for doing your job.
But the anti Police agenda seems to mainly come from the left wing. Just look at the mess they made in Portland Oregon with the anti Police agenda.
I am so sad to see what has happened to the Alice over the years. I lived in Alice and worked at the TV station just behind Todd Mall from 1996-7 and I would finish work when the TV station closed transmission (1-2am in the morning) and walked the 1km back to my home, bought things from the Coles (open 24h/day) and did not feel unsafe at any time during those 2 years. I worked alongside Aboriginal people that I had a great respect for and valued their abilities and dedication to the work we did.
I visited for 2 nights in 2017 and it had changed so much. It wasn't even quite like the video, but I could see the transition to the lawless town it has sadly become now. The video shows me how everything has deteriorated since my last visit. It used to be Tennant Creek had the bad reputation and The Alice was better, but it may be the situation is now reversed.
It's sad to c the decline & lack of resources & help. Unfortunately Tennant creek is still as bad, probably worse. There r even fewer resources & less people out there trying 2 fix the problems that lead 2 hopelessness & violence. TC is basically just a stop off 4 fuel 4 most people. People don't usually go there 4 holidays like they do Alice so there's even more lawlessness cos cops r focused on the Alice or elsewhere.
This is great. Thank you for this comment

The girl that yelled 'i think you need security' 😂😂
I lived and worked in ALice back in 2021, with Stumpz for a while actually. I can confirm the guy is solid as a rock and such a good guy. I have never been in a place like Alice where I have felt so unsafe in my entire life, even as an older guy that has been in scuffles (by no means a fighter) I was legitimately petrified at some of the things I saw and experienced. In saying that there are so many beautiful people up there and I will be back to visit.
What's the worst thing you saw
@@sebble6218 I was attacked by a group of 15+ kids one night, thankfully I was by a large gate so I could escape but as I was retreating they were throwing bottles and rocks. I literally had to hide behind something and run for cover while they were trying to shower me with anything they could find. I had literally done nothing and even though I would usually try to defend myself it is not like I can hit a kid and there were so many of them. I already knew that might happen as a guy much larger than myself with a boxing background had the same thing happen and was in hospital for a week.
Bro, the side you're showing me of my country... nobody else would show this. I'm touched to be let into these people's live and situations. I'm starting a social work cert this year and this really lights a fire in my belly to get out and help brothers and sisters that want it and need it. You're making the world a better place doing this Span.
There has been a million documentaries on Aboriginal poverty. Ever watched ABC or SBS?
@@scottwilliam6141he only watches short RUclips vids
Nah man that's the thing! I don't watch TV, and this kind of thing has never really touched my reality. My partner has been to tribal societies as part of her uni degree, and I know a lot about their art culture and some of their history, but I was blind to some of the realities of these places. Maybe I'll go look at some of those doco's now.
The problem with all these 'documentaries' are they are just woke BS. They are blame everything on the white man. Generational trauma. Why aren't the descendents of the convicts going off due to generational trauma? Because it is a BS excuse to behave like laws don't apply. Why don't the woke media do documentaries on those Aboriginals who have done great things with their lives? Because it goes against the aboriginal industry that gets more than 30 billion dollars a year funding. You can't do anything that would endanger that cash flow that bugga all makes it to those in need but keep the supply of new Toyota Landcruisers going for a select few.
@@heyimshakesWhere are you going to look at said docos ?
Don't rely on the internet is all im saying, get deep into those video archive's at national libraries of Australia.
Man props to the boxing Gym coach. Ppl don’t understand how hard it is but how good it feels to do positive things after a life of crime. Making positive change and growth by helping youth to keep them off the same path you did is a great feeling. Trying to balance out that karma for your past. Much respect to him.
I made the same changes, I now travel and give motivational speeches to at risk youth all over Canada 🇨🇦. 💯💯💯
I love you for that. Thank you.
We love that for you.

Thank you for speaking directly to the people who know what’s happening, not scared to get right in the middle and talk to everyone, a really balanced story. “Flies alone will make you want to fight”, priceless:-)
I was born in Alice Springs, moved away decades ago and never been back. All I can say is children are a direct result of their parents.
I guess you were one of those thugs in this video
@@tonyscott4082You described yourself
sorry i don't agree the children are direct result of our government system
I'm not sure as a person not from this country this looks like extreme oppression on the ethnic group of this country and that's probably why the youths are like that because the racism here is disgusting I can't believe this what Australia is like yet I'm not surprised this is sad
Yes well those kids don't get to see real Aboriginal people in the media or on social media or anything like that, they're never the ones making the decisions it's always people of mixed blood so of course the only people they see that looks like them are the African American gangsters . Maybe if we actually allowed some full bloods to have a say in the whole situation they may have some pride in their own culture instead of thinking that only white Aborigines can succeed
Shout out to Mikayla, beautiful artwork. 🌻
Yeees

Absolutely deadly beautiful ARTWORK……. ❤
Honestly, it's pretty impressive the amount of infrastructure and shops present considering there's barely 30K population.
just money pumped in by the federal government, wasted by the actual residents.
And for a hood, the city looks very clean. American hoods are dirty with litter everywhere.
we give them everything and they still treat it like shit
30k is still pretty high. Idk, if you've ever been to Broome in WA, that has only 15k population max, and has a pretty good amount of shops and stuff
This is because of Pine Gap, a shitload of spooks live in Alice Springs.
Respect Spanian, another revealing visit. Your guides were top & had the local goods, but man you were a full on celeb! People were so stoked to have you there & you were so accommodating to everyone. Nicely done.
Thanks
So much surrounding the issue of alcohol wasn’t discussed. The extortion of the black market through secondary supply (which you demonstrated), the regular drinking of hand sanitiser from hospital, the reinstating of alcohol restrictions in an attempt to curb staggering rates of DV! And the prevalence of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
I was expecting worse from this episode honestly. However having lived in the Alice 10 years ago, it’s utterly heartbreaking to know what it’s become.
Yeah and it was weird that Spanien was treating the alcohol bans like a negative thing that they are doing to innocent people.
Like they literally have to ban the alcohol to stop people going crazy and drinking themselves to death.
Alcohol.. the bane of my exsistence. I always wanted to get away from the people around me yhat indulged, and couldnt for 18yrs but my time came. I can only imagine fir the people there that know of better and want to escape but cant.
@amitysucks Because they use listerine as alcohol and huff the deodorant to get high. Let's not prevent the evil government is preventing the locals from having fresh breath and nice smelling arms lol.
All these rules are put in place to stop the local population from abusing everything in site to destroy their lives.
FASD is under reported everywhere in Australia. And the impact of this disability is lifelong for the individual, their family, community with schools etc needing to accommodate more children with FASD, governments funding & wider society. And sadly it's 💯 preventable 😢
Sure, but that would have been missing the point. Alcohol is just one of the problems people can inherit, and it's only one part of the picture here. Had the maker focused on alcohol, insight into the broader humanity and experience of his subjects would have been compromised. It would have made them seem like a symptom of alcohol, not fully realised individuals with lots of other influences - good and bad.
I also totally get why he was angered by the bans. When you're with people who don't personally care for the bans, that's to be expected. But more importantly .. to approve and suggest it's for their own good, is to paternalise. He wasn't there to do that. Yes we know the bans help, but this wasn't the time or place to discuss that. We would not have this raw but remarkable documentary, had he gone down that road.
I use to live in Alice Springs for almost 10 years and funny enough Dane was my old house mate and a family friend! The first few years of living in Alice, in my experience was good. Didn't have any issues with getting broken into, up until my last year of living there. Got to the point where my anxiety would rise when leaving the house for work. The fights and crime got worse each day that goes by and it was scary. It's sad that the media doesn't show and explain what truly happens in that town. I hope that something good will happen for Alice to shine once again.
😢
I doubt it…What a mess…
Awesome video man! Great lads gelping and showing you around. Looking forward to the next ones. ❤
I knew a guy that went to Darwin too work and his second night on the piss,,he was walking home and got too a street that had maybe 20+ aboriginals out the front of a house getting rowdy. He said they all looked at him and started pulling off fence pickets and chasing him. He said he’d never ran so fast in his life,he said Darwin is wild😂.
So your mate has an alcohol problem as well?
this is alice
@@nickmartin812 bro get real would you, how do you not know he went for a couple beers and left 😂 🤡
Unlucky always walk around with locals
Honestly man spanian has shown at LOT more than any news channel or networks within Australia. Going in and documenting EVERYTHING about these towns is doing way more than any other news channel.
Doing what exactly?
Yep, the media in Australia is all controlled by the left, so they will never show the aboriginals in a bad light. Hence why we never hear anything about it in the mainstream media.
What did you actually learn from watching this video that you didn't already know. It's a genuine question, can you tell me?
@@dimitrimatsacos7859 he can't because he's got Spannians d in his mouth
You need too watch more ABC or SBS....spanian touched on nothing compare too what these two channels have done over the last 20,30 or even 40yrs.
I spent 6 years in the Kimberley of Western Australia in a town called Derby. After I left, the crime rate sky-rocketed even further than when I left. Alice Springs is definitely worse, but the crime in Derby was pretty hectic.
I'm not going to lie bro, I've been going through some hard times, this channel helps bring it back down to earth, keep it up. Missed you in Dandenong. Stay strong brother. Melbourne love.

The cop was stabbed in the neck before he shot the kid. A kid who bashed his girlfriend.
And handouts are not working. To many city flogs running the money with no idea.
Correct. His own family called the police to come and get him, he then lied about his identity and attacked them with scissors. The police officer was exonerated because he proved that he only followed the training he received from the NT Police Academy, which was that edged weapon = knife, which means you can shoot in self defence. The NT police tried and failed to make him the officer a sacrificial lamb.
Add the media to the NT police throwing him under a bus. The guy can’t even live in Australia anymore.
Similar thing happened when I lived in Kalgoorlie, a young kid stole a dudes bike, the dude saw it all happen and chased after the kid in his car. The kid crashed the bike into a tree trying to flee and sadly died, then the whole town went into lock-down for over a week due to riots because families wanted to kill the dude that chased the kid. It's wild!
@@clarissatyler3947AND no sign of medical help because it was too unsafe in community. 😏
And they also forgot to mention the reason he ended up bleeding out was cause the hospital staff left cause the day before he went in there with a axe that’s why the cops got called out there

Thank you bra 🙌🏼
Should have had a guide on both sides tho.. this is called embedded reporting, look it up. The fact that he's white doesnt look like he represents the white community in Alice at all.
Obviously the issues there are VERY 2 sided, why the 1 sided approach?? Its as bad as if you had only talked to the white community there and no aboriginals..

Bro glad you went there.. I’m of Māori heritage but was born and grew up in Alice.. never used to be like this. Alice was a great place to grow up in, still have family and my best mates that still live there.. I grew up over in Larapinta been all over those hills as a kid, parents never were worried about us as kids as long as we were back before the street lights came on we were good.. I miss the old Alice.. I live back in NZ now
Yeah its true back in the 80s and early 90s it was not at all like this at all. Darwin had much more problems with longrassers fighting eachother back then more so that alice springs

I captured quite a few Maori/ Islanders in the video.. buzzing
I live in Alice for about 6mths (it was about 20yrs ago), never once felt unsafe as a white woman. I loved it there, except for the freakin' heat, lol
Whyd you move back?
Man this is genuinely eye-opening. It's one thing to see those snippets of violence in the news, but to see the whole context around it raw like this is just mindblowing. I hope the govt is watching these carefully.

Crazy to think that I've lived for 40 years in this country and don't know a fraction of what's going on in it because the only source of information was from mainstream media and the news. It took relatively unknown RUclipsrs like Spanian and Avi Yemini to travel around, get amongst it and show the real stories. RIP mainstream propaganda!
More that Alice Springs is a huge outlier.
Ya think!! Lol.
Amen brother.
Avi is a straight dog
We know what happened it was never this bad. Everything changed when the police went woke. Now kids as young as 9 or 19 are wandering the streets at night. Kids are not going to school either which is illegal but natives get a pass.
Just because your indigenous doesn't mean the kids should get off free from doing crimes. This whole thing about not punishing them because of the past is complete bullshit.
It seems like it's gone too far to fix sadly.
You’RE
Yea its become a extremely complex shit show with no easy or even moderately challenging solution in sight
Every Australian needs to watch this video. If this was going on in a major city, it would dealt with extremely quickly. Because it’s happening in such a remote location, most Australians don’t even know about it.
You can’t deal with a mentality
You ever been to the valley, or King St, or Hindley St late on a Saturday night?! Reckon it's much different.
I live in a regional town where nearly 10% of the residents are indigenous. If the groups gathering and having wild brawls were white, the police would make arrests. If the groups were indigenous, only the most violent of the perpetrators would be arrested. Police have told me that they are under instructions to go easy on indigenous people, for fear of being labelled racist.
Can't be harsh or you'll be labelled racist
It was on the news about 5 months. Current affairs, news etx just how out of control it is. They tried too put curfews in place
Eye opening brother ! No one else could get this kind of access and respect out there. You are killing it mate ! The content is fire and best of all you and the videos are genuine 🙏
I'm sure Louis Theroux probably could if he made a documentary about it
I loved working out of Alice but knew to be back at the hotel by 14.00. Sadly. That was 2018 up until Covid. It's deteriorated really quickly. The locals have been begging for help for such a long time. Cheers Spanian for shining a light of raw truth on this, it will hopefully help in a positive way. It's a special place.
Prayers for the people of Alice Springs. Had no idea somewhere like this existed in Australia. American hoods this is everywhere. This really opened my eyes.
There's even worse places than this. Search up wadeye NT
I worked in Alice for about 5 months, small drainage company from Perth WA, every night we’d leave our main work truck with all our tools and generators locked up at the police station, even had one of our work utes stolen from the house we were staying at behind a padlocked gate
Love how they said the cop was at fault for lighting that kid up. They leave out the part he charged them with a knife its on body cam.
Classic woke victim mentality
Always a victim it’s embedded in them
you would think a fully trained police officer would be able to able to not kill a kid for charging at him with a knife. Thats the point lol
life or death situation they have every right to shoot. maybe dont charge a cop with a knife? but nah its racism@@imanoob5201
They left that part out cause they don't want to get there head stomped on by the families of the dead kid, remember it's a small town.
Being a NZ born, QLD resident, i have a overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Spaniard having a dig and opening our eyes to what it’s like for people who are literally living down the road.

He’s legit one of the main causes of this shit, what do you mean??? He is one of the founders of the eshay movement
Back in the 80's we were camped just outside of Alice Springs, slept with a 🔫 beside us and let the dogs out literally, only heard corroboree's like noises and load talking. Work up the next day, checked the dogs in the ute and headed off to SA for work. Happy days.

Alice is a tough place, alcohol destroys 1st nation social cohesion very quickly! Many of them don’t eat bush tucker (which sends them crazy from lack of traditional oils & nutrients only found in bush tucker) it was the elders of those neighbourhoods that had the no alcohol ban put in place not the government! Another terrible tragedy was 1st nation kids sniffing solvents (chroming petrol) the Australian government went to huge lengths to make sure opal fuel (unsniffable petrol) was rolled out across the state! And due to a massive lack of 1st nation respected male elders (father figures) the communities children run amok! It’s not a law enforcement issue, it’s a social cohesion one!

I think it's a subconscious call for help... Even if they don't realize that themselves, they look up to someone who has experienced what they have in life, but has also learnt from their "school of hard knocks" and decide to change and move out of that.

Very naïve comment, this is a product of political incompetent & corruption. Sick feral society with lack of human respect & dignity.
I was raised in the projects in Russia during the Soviet Collapse, then got adopted and then put in the group home after living 3 years with the adoptive family, and the dumbest thing I witnessed living in these type of neighborhoods is young dudes willing to die for a block they dont own
What do you mean when you say "young dudes willing to die for a block they don't own"...cumn from Russia ur knowledge of Aboriginal culture and Traditional Lores clearly ain't sumthn ur aware of... and Russia was never invaded by another country or Nation.... my people the Aboriginal people of this country have been here for thousands and thousands of years and Traditional Lore at Alice Springs is very much alive unlike most parts of Australia where many of my people have lost their languages and traditional customs and Lores thx to colonization.... therefore there is so much difference between ur experience than wotz going on with my people.... much respect to ur people and ur country but u cannot compare wotz happened to my people since colonization to anything u may have experienced in ur Motherland...as THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ALL OF AUSTRALIA IS OUR MOTHERLAND.... that we have lived upon for thousands and thousands of years and our connection to our land is probably the same as it's in Russia

Went there about 12 years ago for a week visit, it's a big difference from other major cities like Sydney or Melbourne, which most tourists don't expect.
It was a big reality check even back then visiting.
Until you go and see it for yourself, you'll only see what the media shows you.
It's somewhere in Aus, that everyone should definitely at least visit once just to experience and see for yourself. Definitely an eye opener.
It's a beautiful part of the country though.
All the locals I met were great! polite, friendly and respectful.
Just gotta always remember, that there's good and bad people no matter where you go.
And, always treat others with respect.
This was well put together, props to Spanian. ✌️
I lived in Alice Springs for 3 months in 2004. The streets were safe to walk through at night. I can’t believe they are proud what the town is like now. Absolute disgrace.
It is significantly worse now, but the streets were never safe at night - not for women at least.
I totally agree with you. How embarrassing to the elders and indigenous communities that want us and the rest of the world to believe they are peaceful ppl, then to show this place and the ppl in it to the rest of the world.. pathetic and disgraceful. Absolutely a shit show.
9yrs of a corrupt lnp government cutting and transferring funding from indigenous to golfing clubs doesn't help .
The streets were never really safe :(
Not everyone is proud!
that footage is just speechless. I have never ever seen something so out of control. What a total failure of government policy. Good on you spanian for showing us how it actually is because the media never paint the same picture.
It’s a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. Cops get called racist for enforcing the law. They’re blaming the cops when the blame is squarely on them. The cops are doing everything they legally can and if it turns to a police state then oh well not the cops fault.
It's not a failure of government policy it's a failure of evolution!
imagine then what would happen if the "Stolen land" was all given back to the aborigines....
Government policy? Why can’t people take responsibility for their own actions instead of blaming the government or history, or other people.
So sick and tired of hearing people like you talking about the failures of the government policy where people will not be accountable for their own actions .I still have close friends that are indigenous from when we were youngsters and they work hard with good homes.Stop the blame game.
Was awesome to see an insight into another well-known Australian city that we only ever hear about on the news. Also the video was made far better with the inclusion of your mates touring you around (in particular Stumpz), being able to give insider info and extra value to the video. Cheers lads.
I visited Alice Springs last October with my girlfriend after visiting Uluru. You definitely have to be vigilant when walking around the streets. We never wandered outside at night and never carried anything with us when browsing around. Positive experience was I bought a lot of aboriginal souvenirs, lol
