Alice Springs: The crisis that shouldn’t have happened

7am

About this episode

A crime wave in Alice Springs grew into a national crisis this week, with politicians jumping on planes in a last-ditch effort to listen to a community whose concerns have fallen on deaf ears.

But how did the crime rate in Alice Springs become an issue for Anthony Albanese? And how could the situation have deteriorated so far?

Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Chris Wallace on how giving communities a voice could force politicians to face complex challenges.
