"There’s claim and counter claim if there is enough police to attend to the violence incidents almost happening on a nightly basis. The 'audit of the environmental design'… doesn’t sound like the solutions are forthcoming in the Northern Territory." "Our safety is paramount. Enough is enough. This behaviour has to stop, we have seen nationally and in the Northern Territory, increase in carriage of edge weapons along with violent crime. This is not normal. We want to stop it before it takes hold."
