Police presence needed to counter Indigenous ‘tribal payback’ traditions: Price

Remote Indigenous communities need a police presence to reduce residents meting out justice through “tribal payback” traditions, according Deputy Mayor of Alice Springs Jacinta Price. Ms Price described tribal payback as a violent punishment such as a spearing in the leg or a beating which Indigenous people carry out as a reprimand. “In some cases if that person isn’t available that they want to provide payback to then they will find the next person who was closely related to that person and inflict that punishment upon them”. “They shouldn’t be happening,” she told Sky News. Ms Price also said many remote communities experience some of the highest rates of family violence, domestic violence and sexual assault.
