The numbers of people arrested in Leonora have reduced markedly. A simple change can have significant positive effects. In Warburton there used to be only four court sittings per year. Each sitting dealt with about 70 accused per day who had often been remanded or bailed for 3-4 months prior to the hearing. Now there are six sittings per year.
Distance is a significant disadvantage.
The population is very scattered over this vast area. There are 2 solicitors to handle this region. A couple of sites are being considered for servicing for these families. Administration of Aboriginal services Funding for Aboriginal programs is still taken up by white administration. People are blaming councillors but they don't make the decisions.
