Local business owner Darren Clark has shared his disappointment with the government’s lack of inaction regarding the violence ravaging the Alice Springs community.

Mr Clark has been pushing for change for a while, creating a Facebook group in 2020 called ‘Action for Alice’ however, he says the situation has become dire.

“This is happening every night. It does not matter what your age or race is. Indigenous people are getting broken into – the Indigenous people of this town have had enough of this problem as well,” Mr Clark told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings.

Mr Clark said the troublemaking young people have been taken out of the town, ahead of the Prime Minister’s visit.

“The government brought large busses in town, they’ve picked up all the kids and they’ve shipped them out because we’ve got senators and Albo coming, they do this all the time.”

“How can Anthony Albanese walk the streets of Alice Springs and get a true indication of what’s going on? He can’t. Because they won’t allow it.”
