Fresh from defeating Labor in the NT election, the Country Liberal Party vows to get tough on crime.

New Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, plans to lower the age of criminal responsibility to 10, increase funding to police and is considering the re-introduction of the use of spit hoods in youth detention centres. 

Meanwhile, Labor has a major task ahead if it wants to return to government after securing four seats, with another still to be determined.  NIRS speaks to Member for Arnhem and Nunggayinbala and Anindilyakwa woman Selena Uibo about leading the party and the impact of the CLP's agenda on crime.   

Other highlights:

  • The North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency says it's concerned about the Country Liberal Party's hard stance on crime;
  • Reverend Dr Gondarra OAM honoured at a funeral in Darwin; and
  • A Queensland Museum exhibition is honouring the heritage and contribution of Australian South Sea Islanders.
