00:00A pop-up shop in Palmerston trying to spruik the NT government's crime prevention credentials.
00:09We're really thrilled to be supporting Neighbourhood Watch with an additional $250,000 budget ongoing
00:16to make sure that we can further reduce crime right across the territory.
00:20Neighbourhood Watch, the community-led anti-crime crusaders,
00:24say the funding boost will deliver them two new positions in the NT.
00:29With the funds now, we will try to expand the services that we have
00:34and be able to deliver them into even more, all the corners of the territory.
00:38We're already making rounds and plans to be out a little farther than we have been last year
00:43and provide more personal safety sessions.
00:46Among such sessions, the possibility of teaching the public to use pepper spray
00:50after the NT government legalises its use later this year.
00:54It's really about equipping people and empowering people to take charge of their own personal safety.
00:58This Federal MP welcomes funding for Neighbourhood Watch,
01:02but wants to see a full audit of NT government spending to prove that it is delivering change.
01:08A lot of funding goes from the Federal Government to the Northern Territory Government.
01:12Why shouldn't we be looking at where's the outcomes for the money that we're investing in the Northern Territory?
01:20Leah Finocchiaro claims her government is careful with its cash and says it's the Commonwealth who should be delivering better bang for its buck, especially in Alice Springs.
01:30They're very happy to write big checks and cut ribbons and rock up in Alice Springs and announce big dollars.
01:37But when it's not making an impact on the ground, that's where analysis of how that money is rolling out
01:42and what the KPIs are for that money is what really counts and we're not seeing that from the Federal Government.
01:47She should be sitting down and working with all of her Federal members to look at what is the best outcome for the Northern Territory
01:57and how we can all work together.
01:59Billions of dollars in funding flying out the door, but yet to be proven if it's really hitting the ground.
