Australia news live: cost of Sydney metro blows out to $20bn; jobs figures tipped to remain strong
is criticising the prime minister,You need to restore law and order, that is the first thing that needs to happen. The fact is that the prime minister promised $250m when we first raised this issue back in October. There is no evidence of that money being spent on the ground and speaking to a lot of operators and those who deliver services on the ground here, their view is that there is still a committee stage going on about where that money will be spent.
… Somebody was killed here in 2021, somebody has lost their life tragically, equally tragic in Darwin but we are going to see further tragedy here and unless the prime minister steps in and restores law and order, that can only be done by supplementing the efforts of the NT police with the Australian federal police and I call on the prime minister to make sure that that is an action that is rolled out.
If Natasha Fyles, the chief minister, is saying there is nothing to see in Alice Springs, the prime minister should listen to the people on the ground here and overrule her. Start to restore dignity and protect the kids from continued violation of their own human rights and make sure that people can do what they want to do as they would in any other part of the country, take their kids to school, go to the park, go out to a restaurant, be involved in life in Alice Springs.
It is what we would expect for any Australian and the prime minister really needs to step up here and make sure that we can see a better future for Alice Springs.
