We must be ‘ever conscious’ of traumatised families in NT crime crisis

Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy says politicians and the media “have to be ever conscious” of traumatised families and the need for “action” in the Central Australian crime crisis.

“There is an important layer here that I’m incredibly mindful of,” Ms McCarthy told Sky News Australia.

“The Northern Territory government knows it has to have a report to the Prime Minister this week.

“We have to move and give confidence to the families and businesses of Alice Springs and Central Australia that they will be safe and there is a future and a way through this.

“This week is going to be a critical moment.”
