My question is to the Prime Minister. Since being elected, the Prime Minister has been just four hours in Alice Springs. At the moment local residents, business owners, school principals and the mayor have all been pleading for support from you, Prime Minister. Yet locals have seen little evidence of the $250 million package that you promised making any difference to improve community safety. In fact, the situation has got much worse. Children are committing serious crimes. Sexual abuse is at a record high. Juvenile crime and domestic crime and abuse is at a record high. When does the Prime Minister intend to visit Alice Springs?
