‘Delicate conversations’: Calls for children to be removed from families in Alice SpringsAlice Springs Councillor Michael Liddle discusses the need for “delicate conversations” about potentially taking children away from their families and sending them somewhere safe. “Their role model is a big brother, an uncle or cousin who may have took them through the business,” Mr Liddle told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “But when the business is finished, they follow that role model to the pub – follow that role model in doing bad behaviour. “Our role models and mentors, they are not there, we lack them – we lack good role models amongst the Aboriginal society.” Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson said there are enough funded organisations to pick the children up and take them somewhere safe, with questions over where exactly to take them. “Now the Child Protection Act is being enacted, I’ve seen that first-hand, and again that breaks your heart, but that is the very end of the spectrum,” Mr Paterson told Ms Credlin. “We need the things put in place first before we get to that point because the discussion around Aboriginal kids on the street is, you can’t take them away because everyone gets so scared about the Stolen Generation. “These are still kids - they are little kids, they are little human beings.”
