Two children beat six parrots to death in a backyard aviary in Alice Springs, leaving the birds' breeder in disbelief at the senseless violence.
Mr Sabadin was one of many Alice Springs residents who believed the community was in the grip of a worsening crime crisis.
"It's time the justice system gets off its backside and fixed the problem of this time," he said, calling on the Chief Minister to take action.A spokesperson for NT Police said the 10-year-old was dealt with under the Youth Justice Act, while the eight-year-old, who is not yet at the age of criminal responsibly, had been referred to Territory Families.
Ms Wakefield insisted youth worker patrols and increased CCTV were working to fix the problem at night, though people were telling her things were worsening during the day."We do need to hold our nerve and make sure we're investing where we know things are going to work."
