Richard Riley: Numbulwar Night Patrol is a Shire program run by hard working local people.
Female night patrol driver: “Come on Lolly girla, let’s go home.”
Harold Nunggumajbarr: When it gets late…we get them kids to hop on the car and we take them home, for safety for dog, late at night.
Ernest Numamurdirdi: Our first patrol is going to go around and checking up the staff houses, especially the school, where there’s a few teenagers are still hanging around and start banging and so we just go and talk to them quietly, talk to them quietly, and just say to them, look, please go home now, because like, you know, this is not a place for you to stay, it belongs to the Government. So, yeah, that’s what we’re doing but, more quietly, quiet talk to them so they don’t get upset, so that they go home.
(Preston Wurramara: talks in language)
Preston Wurramara: Yesterday…fighting yesterday, but today very quiet.
