Snap Curfew Declared in Alice Springs After Violent Crime Wave

No Evidence Snap Curfews Will Solve Alice Springs’ Problems, Advocate For Australian Indigenous Children Says

Three-night stay-at-home order issued for town after weekend violence, including a brawl involving 80 people

9 News Australia 12 JUL 2024

A leading advocate for Indigenous children has said there is no evidence that the snap curfew in Alice Springs will solve the town’s long-running issues.

A three-night stay-at-home order was issued on Monday for the Northern Territory community after a spate of violent incidents, including a brawl involving 80 people and a knife attack on a 42-year-old woman.

Both residents and visitors are subject to the 10pm-6am restrictions, with people only able to enter the curfew zone for purposes such as work, attending an event or seeking safety or medical treatment.

Police on Tuesday said they were pleased with the first night of the policy, except for the theft of three vehicles from a business on Ghan Road outside the curfew zone.

The NT Police commissioner, Michael Murphy, said police were also exploring limits on liquor supply.

“This isn’t a policing solution, this is a short-term relief measure,” he told the ABC on Tuesday.

But Catherine Liddle, the CEO of the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care (Snaicc), said there was “no evidence that snap curfews like this work”.

“Having curfews in a tool kit for police to use is not a sensible response,” she said. “You increase punitive measures, what you get is more crime.”

Liddle distinguished the three-day lockdown imposed by police from the “genuine circuit breaker” declared by the NT government in March, which she said responded to “an absolutely extraordinary collision of events where children were at serious risk of serious harm”.

The minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, said Alice Springs needed long-term solutions and pointed to the federal government’s four-year package of $250m to improve community safety and services in central Australia.
