'We need to stop pussy-footing around this issue': Alice Springs MP
Crime often spikes in the hot months, and this year has seen fresh angst about young offenders in Central Australia, despite efforts to stem the flow of alcohol and fund social services.
Those concerns are now being echoed by the Federal Labor MPÂ Marion Scrymgour who represents the region - who's calling for a "tough love" approach to youth crime. She says we have to "stop pussy-footing around the issue."
