Whats the problem with Eveleigh Street , Redfern ?

Question

Why is it such a big deal ? Who lives there ? Info . . please ?

Answer 1

It is the aboriginal people who live in "The Block" in Eveleigh street.

Many murders, bashings, have happened there, and there was a riot a few years back.

There is also drugs/criminals in the area.

Answer 2

Eveleigh St Redfern is just a slum, and every time some one does anything to improve it the residents vandalise it again so. What needs to be done is to bulldoze the houses and relocate the residents to other places in Sydney but gutless state Government won't do it, so the problem gets left in the too hard basket.

Answer 3

There is a problem with disadvantaged people many of whom are indigenous there.  There is a major problem that govt seems incapable of managing.

It can be quite violent.

Answer 4

There is a major aboriginal problem there.

Sometimes the govt if it is facing some scandal over something and are on the front page of the newspapers they will  send the cops down there to stir the aboriginals up.

A bit of a riot ensures and it diverts the attention of the newspapers and the public

Answer 5

Eveleigh Street is a small inner-city street with small Victorian-era terrace houses that the government bought in the 1960's or 1970's - not sure when.

They relocated disadvantaged Aboriginal people into those houses, and threw money at them to keep them quiet. Unfortunately, the people who live there don't want to find a job, live off government hand-outs, drink themselves to death, are bored and bitter, and in their boredom and bitterness, wreck the houses they live in, even to the point of setting their own houses on fire.

They spend their days gathering together in bored gangs looking for trouble.

There is no present solution to the problem, because the government is too gutless to do anything. The current solution seems to be to bulldoze the burnt-out houses as they are set alight, and eventually there will be no houses left.

Its a very dangerous place and never, NEVER go there.

Of course, not all indigenous Australians are like this, only the obvious minority that the media focuses on.

Answer 6

Unfortunately it houses a minority of indigenous people that are a not the type to get off their backsides and work. They prefer to get by by criminal acts and whinge about how hard done by they are rather than getting a real job or using the extra privileges they get given and taking advantage of those to better themselves.
