Every major city in Australia has their problem suburbs where poverty is more pronunced and crime spree will flare up occassionally. I remember Walgett NSW had similar issues a while back causing indigenous kids run amok in the streets. Happenned in Geelong VIC, Mandurah WA, Alice Springs, Darwin just to name a few. Now it's happenning in Townsville unfortunately. It all comes down to parental education or the lack of it. It will disappear eventually, the law always wins.
Ausfox.......How about we bury the hatchet and I will buy you a drink when I get up there....
