In the Kimberley communities battle daily with kids stealing cars and breaking in to houses. Police say their hands are tied and govt makes the decision. Police are not allowed to engage with kids in cars. How then do we ensure the safety of the community? Kids know the cops can't do anything and they taunt them.

Govt's need to act

Federal NDIS Minister, Linda Reynolds, has teamed up with the minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, to announce a new program offering employment opportunities in remote communities. 

The 'A Life Changing Life' program will offer service provision and support roles to community members, hopefully keeping things local.

Senator Reynolds was in Fitzroy Crossing recently as a part of a Kimberley tour and she told Wangki Radio's Indi Wood that there are clear issues with the current NDIS structure which mean people are either missing out entirely or not getting the services they need from their plan.
