Ufulla in big mob trouble, eh...

Racism...

I gotta tell ya, there's some idiots in this town.

A little while back some fellas working for a local contractor decided they would say some stupid things to a local Traditional Owner down at the servo.

Unluckily for these guys they neglected to think about the bystanders watching on and listening.

Luckily for these guys the bystanders didn't take down the number plate of the contractor's vehicle.

There's talk in Napranum about a letter of complaint being drafted up to send to the relevant employer. My guess is that if the culprits own up to the chat, they'll be out of a job by day's end.

Get one thing straight, you idiots, you jeopardise your employer's position to gain Rio contracts with such unacceptable behaviour. Also, you may not be aware of this, but Rio Tinto actually relies on a level of cultural awareness and positive relations with the local TO's so that they can maintain access to the land for mining. I'm not sure if these blokes have noticed what industry drives the local economy around here. For all the ranting I do about Rio, I still acknowledge that their presence drives the economic stability of this region.

Another point ... fellas like this continue to offend a huge proportion of the local residents. Not the best way to encourage positive race relations.

Now, a handful of blokes slinging shit on some old fella - telling him that they're going to cut him up and take him bush - will pretty much irritate the odd family in town or out at Napranum. It won't do the blokes responsible any favours in the job security department either.

If the offenders are reading this ... best save for your plane tickets out if you're fingered for it. There's been fellas sacked at your company for far, far less.
