How would that fly down here if a business was basically suffering a break in every two months since 2018


Was just talking to someone who left there in Feb this year, he said he knows of 11 families (many with businesses) who have packed up and headed elsewhere, what going to be left in the town? Very sad.

Alice Springs has been a complete shithole since the 80s. It is easily in my top10 of places never to go to again.

Agree.
I know so many people like the joint but it’s a shithole for me as well.
I’ve travelled to a lot places Australia wide for work and it’d be in my top 3 worse places to visit.

Like the curfews that doesnt fix the root casue of the issue

The lack of appropriate housing, health, education and employment in remote Australia - this isn't just limited to Alice Springs

Add in water security for remote communities and you have a recipe for disaster that is playing out, over the horizons of our urban lifestyles....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Whilst they are issues that need to be addressed in a lot of country towns not just remote towns, it’s not an excuse for what’s happening there currently and has been for a long time now.
Ignoring the problem hasn’t fixed it either.
Send the army to start regaining some form of lifestyle for the locals and their families

Oh yeah do that and the army goes away then what happens

the locals dont want these short fixes like curfews and "send the army in" as it doesnt solve the root causes

Surely you get order in place first then maintain it through appropriate actions.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

The issue with short terms in Government is no one is prepared to think about and implement long term solutions.

Doing nothing isn’t working either.
Deploy the army, restore some order then work through what it looks like over the coming months/years.
No short term fix here.
