  “The CLP government proudly announces that even more of our people will be jailed,” he said.

  Well yeah, they’re committing crimes and people in NT are fed up, hence why they voted for the CLP

  Crime rates in the territory have increased over the past decade, with some offences reaching record levels in 2023.

  A certain demographic has also ruined one of the few things the NT has going for it

  Alice Springs’ reputation as a tourist destination has been overshadowed by crime and antisocial behaviour that has been plaguing the region for several years.

  This happened over 8 years of the Labor state government in NT and based on this:

  They’ve been in power all but 4 years since 2002.

  “Our children and their children’s children cannot be living in fear.”

  Why not? It sounds like good vibes and whatever you were doing before wasn’t working, if whatever you were doing before worked you wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with

  Maybe instead of asking the federal government to ask the CLP to go easier on criminals he should turn around and focus on his own local community ?

      It’s pretty much just this guy. Post anything about first nations and there’s a high probability he’ll show up.

    And blocked because considering your views I don’t need your voice to join the many (less racist) voices in my head.

    “Tough on crime” has always been political theatre. There’s been so many studies on this it’s not even funny.

    You don’t solve crime by jailing a bunch of people.

    Just look at the USA, crime rate through the roof compared to Australia, yet they are the 5th most incarcerated people on the planet by capita and largest by total amount.

    Tough on crime doesn’t work, it’s only to dupe people into re-electing politicians with no better policies.
