Anti-curfew agenda motivated by political correctness
1 min read

WE are told that curfews don’t work. 

What data is this statement based on? 

The anti-curfew agenda is motivated by bias personal opinions and political correctness. 

Tennant Creek has a social demographic unlike any other town in Australia and therefore requires exceptional solutions. 

We have to find a balance between old-school discipline and the new-age soft approach that is no deterrent and is seen to reward bad behaviour.  The decision makers and those who influence them should have to face the reality – they and their half-baked policies have failed. 

Stop using alcohol sales as a scapegoat – alcohol is legal and here to stay, the problem is far deeper than alcohol abuse. 

We need realistic solutions before there is a catastrophic outcome that results in loss of life.
