The NT government is imposing a youth curfew in Alice Springs for two weeks and sending 58 new police to tackle a spate of youth crime  and violence. The curfew means anyone under the age of 18 on the streets after 6pm will be rounded up and taken home or to a safe place. 

Marion Scrymgour is the member for Lingiari, she says something had to be done to by the NT Government to stem the spike in crime. She says longer term responses, not just "knee jerk reactions" are needed in Alice Springs and across the wider Northern Territory. She says National Cabinet should convene with First Nations Ministers of each state and territory to look at issues of youth across the country.
