"the social meaning of petrol sniffing in australia" tf?

Outback petrol bowsers were locked in cages at the time.

I wonder why majority of petrol sniffers are aboriginal

Never actually read it.

petrol sniffing in australia is the patriarchy

But it was a known problem at the time. No idea now.

Nah man its still a thing

The situation of Aborigines in Oz is tragic though.

Properly so.

There is no easy solution.

let people kill themselves. its what nature wants

nope

The problem is they live in isolated communities, where they can't get the same levels of treatment as if they lived in one of our major cities

suicide is contagious

you'll do more damage than the opiod crisis

It's much worse than just isolation.

It's complete and utter humiliation.

the more people commit suicide, the more other people want to commit suicide

solve the social isolation

How are aboriginals humiliated?

don't just allow people to top themselves

is OD from drug use really the same as suicide?

By the original conquest. The reality that they were living in the stone age.

it can be a way to commit suicide

i mean the damage it would do to society/the community as a whole

but its not the same

unless ya know

it was intentionally a suicide by od

people dying makes other people want to die. I guess the human problem on earth is self correcting, wonder how we ever got here

For me, that's a massive humiliating fact that underpins ongoing problems.

if it was intentional, then it is suicide and not a simple OD

Hmm I think their act of wanting to tie in their ancestral homes to the modern day is admirable but misled

yeah its not the same

some ppl jus OD cuz ya know

they have a drug problem

That's why there are isolated communities, which cascade issues

unless people are huffing gas to kill themselves. seems like a round about way to go about things in a country full of shit constantly trying to kill them.

to a certain extent the government/NGOs are allowing this to continue

boy in australia we hadn't had anyone die of a spider bite until a year ago for 30 years

yeah

if you ignore the source you'll just waste time and resources on symptoms
