Drug and alcohol abuse is indeed a great problem and from that flows marital abuse.
The general public have good intentions towards Indigenous Aussies but many myths flow..such as the $millions spent "on them" but which really doesn't actually reach the many remote under-privileged communities but is consumed by salaries for public servants.

Alaska is beautiful but most the crime is done by white folk, most is booze related and a shit load of wife beating. There is alot of unhinged morons in Anchorage but it is weather related, which cause mood swings and it is expensive there.
