Youth curfew in Alice Springs has made a ‘massive difference’

Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson says the youth curfew in Alice Springs has made a “massive difference” to the anxiety levels of locals. 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 people are now “going into the CBD at night again”. “So, it’s been a very, very welcome change.”
