Phil, Bourke Tribal Council<br /><br />With startling rates of domestic violence, assault and property crime, too many of Bourke's residents end up in jail.<br /><br />Fed up with losing their young to prison, the indigenous people of Bourke have decided to take a risk on a bold experiment to try and turn their town around |
