TEENAGE indigenous girls are prostituting themselves to white men for beer and cigarettes in the middle of Darwin.
Former ATSIC regional council leader Kimberley Hunter said the scenes he has witnessed at night on Parap Rd, Parap, disgusted him and proved sexual abuse is not only performed by Aboriginal men.
"Cars drive up and down and prey on these women continuously," he said.
"We have non-indigenous men that prey on indigenous women."
Mr Hunter said federal and NT politicians knew what was happening but did not seem interested in doing anything about it.
He said Aboriginal women, often drunk teenagers, performed sexual favours for prices as low as a few cigarettes or a beer, just around the corner from Chief Minister Clare Martin's electorate office.
"You can kick a footy from her office to where it all happens," he said.
Mr Hunter said he would start a campaign to rid Parap Rd of exploitation, and said he would be photographing cars that stop and pick up drunk Aboriginal women there.
"There's a whole range of abusers out there," he said.
"If the federal minister and others are concerned they should go down Parap Rd and have a look - locals call it Lollipop Corner."
Mr Hunter, a former chairman of ATSIC's Yilli Rreung regional council, said the moves announced by federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Mal Brough to take over Aboriginal land were "race-driven".
"I want to challenge Mr Brough because us black men always get a kicking," he said.
"To take our land off us to stamp out child abuse ... it's appalling."
"I'm a black man who's had a gutful.
"We don't hear anything to do with non-indigenous men - let's balance the books a bit.
"I want to know what measures are in place to protect black women from white men."
