FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
THE eldest grandson of respected Aboriginal artist Ellen Roughsey has died after allegedly being speared by a 15-year-old boy on remote Mornington Island off far northwest Queensland.
The grieving family of promising hunter and fisherman Russell Pamtoonda, 29, yesterday accused local police of not being able to control violence sparked by illegal home-brew and marijuana in the Gulf of Carpentaria community, declared dry in 2003.
The father of one died after being airlifted to Mount Isa hospital on Saturday with superficial wounds to his chest, left hand and left ribs.
A police spokeswoman said his injuries had been “allegedly inflicted” by a spear, and a 15-year-old boy had since been charged with unlawful wounding and going armed so as to cause fear.
Locals said the incident was the latest in a spate of drunken fights on the island, but police would not confirm that yesterday.
Mr Pamtoonda’s mother, Rosemary Bell, said police numbers should be increased on Mornington Island to cope with alcohol- and drug-fuelled violence.
“I reckon there should be more (police) for this brew business and this dope smoking,” Ms Bell said.
Russell was “a gentle boy; he never fought”.
Ms Bell said violence in the town had worsened since an alcohol management plan was introduced by the state government in late 2003.
Mr Pamtoonda’s grandmother said her grandson had been a “very special person”.
“He was a very good hunter, he used to go hunting and spearing fish,” the painter said.
Mornington Island is part of the massive Mount Isa police district, which runs the length of the Northern Territory-Queensland border and to the state’s centre.
Mount Isa district office acting superintendent Trevor Kidd said 10 police officers were permanently stationed on the island.
