Maybe if they addressed some of those issues

Who is "they"? If you're talking about politicians, what they tried to do was a voice to parliament after years of bipartisan consultation with indigenous Australians to find out what they thought is the best solution, and we thoroughly rejected it.

I live in Cairns, which isn't as bad as Darwin but it's pretty close. In my opinion the fundamental issue is racism. And it's not an easy one to fix.
