Alice Springs locals ‘begging’ for youth curfew to be extended further

Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson says he welcomes the youth curfew extensions in Alice Springs. The Northern Territory government has extended the Alice Springs youth curfew for six days. It was announced by Chief Minister Eva Lawler in response to riots involving up to 150 people in Alice Springs on March 27. Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia that the community’s attitude has “drastically changed” in the last two weeks. “People are begging for it to be extended.”
