Alice Springs’ youth curfew has been extended for 6 days over the remainder of the territory’s school holidays after feedback from local residents – taking it up to 6am on Tuesday, 16 April. NT Chief Minister Eva Lawler says she has “anecdotal” evidence that it’s displaying “very encouraging results” – despite some local elders criticising it. To recap, it was put in place in response to a wave of violent crime after the death of a local teenager last month and has seen those under 18yo barred from the town’s CBD between 6pm-6am daily. Alongside that, Lawler says her government will also accept 15 of the 18 recommendations in a new NT police review but warned it would “come at significant cost”. “We will see unprecedented resources provided to the Northern Territory police force,” she said.
