Aussie straps in beer, not child

When Constable Burnett handed over the fine he said the driver "just looked at me blankly".

Officer: "Here's your ticket sir, we'd respectfully request your child be strapped in in future."

Narrator: "Fosters. Easy mistake."

I'm in Darwin, I know Alice Springs.

"This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child... The child was sitting in the lump in the centre, unrestrained."

THAT was probably an aboriginal. Even if it was not, whoever was stupid enough to say that's the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child must have been trying to save face for Alice Springs, or new to The Northern Territory. I catch buses in Darwin, and Here's a scene I've seen happen many times before.

Aboriginal Couple gets on a full bus carrying a 30pack of cans...
Bus driver tells him not to drink the beer on the bus
Aboriginal stands up and waits for the bus to go
Bus driver tells him to get his kid (baby in a stroller)
Aboriginal Woman starts berating and hitting the Man
Aboriginal Man starts screaming at the Woman
Kid is still in the stroller off the bus
Bus Driver kicks them off the bus.

Alice is far worse.

People are entertaining. I can watch them all day (sounds creepy =.=").

I see you... meheheh.
Who are you calling an idiot? The day I'm told to get off a bus because of my precious babies, so I can look after some pooping screamer, is the day I wait for the next bus, as it happens.


You seem to be pretty prejudiced against the aboriginals. Then again, you know more about it then me.

I'm prejudiced against Northern Territorian Aboriginals. Not all of them.

I'm not that surprised.... here in Queensland we call them "Ipswichareans", though they've also been known to smoke alot, wear disgusting or ill fitting clothing and speak in vulgar terms, especially to their children.
