Arrernte Community Boxing Academy’s Head Trainer Jason Lord says Alice Springs is a “beautiful town” and isn’t the only place in Australia that is struggling with youth crime.

Alice Springs needs an opportunity to ‘liaise and speak’ with young people to work on a solution

“There’s a bit of darkness, there’s also some really good programs out there that are contributing to the town that have enough strength and positivity to shed a bit more light on the rest of the town,” Mr Lord told Sky News Australia. “I think us as Indigenous people, the custodians of Alice Springs could get together a bit more better and work out some solutions.

“I think there should be an opportunity there for us to be able to liaise and speak with the young people or the kids that are causing a lot of the havoc in town.

Alice Springs crime crisis experiences ‘dramatic improvement’ since two-day alcohol banAlice Springs’s crime crisis has experienced a “dramatic improvement” since the Northern Territory government implemented a two-day ban on takeaway alcohol in the community, says Alice Springs GP Dr John Boffa. “Senior police are describing the data they’ve got on Monday and Tuesday this week as unprecedented,” Dr Boffa told Sky News Australia. “Domestic violence incidents, which were running extremely high, were much, much lower as well, about a quarter of what they were. “So we’ve seen some immediately positive impacts from the restrictions that were put in place, which are different to Stronger Futures, but we know takeaway-free days are very effective. “It’s giving us the circuit-breaker we needed while the deliberations happen about where we go next with bringing back Stronger Futures.” Bullshit 😂😂😂😂😂 bullshit It’s not 🚀 science BAN the booze: protect the children you f—ken 🤡
