The government has announced immediate restrictions on alcohol sales in Alice Springs in order to reduce crime.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 11 23
- To restore order and safety to the central Australian town of Alice Springs, where alcohol-related harms, violent crime, and unrest have reached extreme levels, there will be immediate restrictions on alcohol sales and more than $50 million in community support.
- The chief minister stated that the "data has settled," and it is clear that harms have increased since the previous federal government decided to let intervention-era alcohol restrictions expire in mid-2022 under the Stronger Futures legislation.
- "The prime minister and myself as chief minister, we won't give up."
- According to Burney, the issues confronting Alice Springs are complex, and alcohol is not the only factor.
