00:02Before a trial kicked off at the Alice Springs Police Station
00:05Northern Territory Police, what address do you need police?
00:09Emergency calls in the Red Centre were picked up in Darwin.
00:12The government says a local at the end of the line is here to stay.
00:16It's really been something that the community of Alice Springs asked and lobbied us for
00:20and we've been really proud to be able to respond with a highly effective triple zero offering here in the
00:26Red Centre.
00:26Police say almost 15,000 calls over a year has proven it's worth.

00:37required and when operational demand dictates.
00:40A positive response to Aboriginal interpreters stationed in the centre has the government looking at taking the model north.
00:47We're certainly looking at how Alice Springs works and whether we can replicate something to that extent in the top

00:54The Chief Minister rejecting a report by the Jumbunna Institute that claims the government's cherry picking data to show crime

01:09Leah Finocchiaro also pouring cold water on calls for more remote police stations.
01:14This is not like giving lollies to children. You don't just walk around promising police stations like Labor used to.
01:20Steve Edgington promised. Was he promising lollies?
01:23We have very strongly advocated for expansion of remote policing resources right across the board and that is the work
01:30we're doing.
01:31A stop off at Anzac Hill on a whistle stop visit, offering a brief moment to pause and pay tribute
01:38to those who serve.
01:39Now, I'm going back to Anzac Hill on a whistle.
01:41We are going to choose to like to do more.
01:42We are going to move back to Anzac Hill on a whistle and we will be able to make a
01:44mini-hall
