Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson says the “absolute carnage” happening in his city is heart-breaking because the crime scenario ramps up.
He mentioned all crime statistics are going the “wrong direction”, with home and industrial break-ins rising in addition to home violence calls.
“We got told that more policing down here is not sustainable for Alice Springs, well the level of crime and anti-social behaviour here is not sustainable for Alice Springs to continue either,” he advised Sky News host Paul Murray.
