Leading Indigenous administrator — and co-chair of the Joint Council on Closing the Gap — Pat Turner has called for the immediate release of Dorrelle Anderson's report on alcohol restrictions in the Northern Territory.Pat Turner is describing the Northern Territory government's decision to lift alcohol restrictions in communities as "hasty and foolish"
The report was delivered to the territory's chief minister, Natasha Fyles, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese yesterday. The ABC understands the report has recommended the Northern Territory government "urgently" legislate amendments to its liquor act to impose alcohol restrictions in Central Australia, including town camps.
While acknowledging alcohol wasn't the only factor behind the unrest and anti-social behaviour in Alice Springs, Turner condemned the Northern Territory government's decision to allow the lifting of alcohol restrictions in communities. At the same time, Anthony Albanese detailed almost $50 million in spending on services and programs to improve safety in the town.
