EXCLUSIVE: Indigenous communities rocked by COVID-19 02/03/2021|4min
A Sky News investigation has shed light on the major driver behind a spike in social problems in Indigenous communities in the past year - with the evidence largely pointing to an increase in Centrelink payments.
In the past year, Alice Springs saw a sharp increase in assaults, with alcohol fuelled violence up 17 per cent and domestic violence incidents up 32 per cent.
Similar trends were seen in Darwin, with alcohol fuelled violence and domestic violence incidents both up 23 per cent.
Northern Territory Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker said police had seen “quite distinct rises. Unfortunately, what we do attribute that to is the increase of money that has been available”.
Stephanie Foster, deputy secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, will examine the formal links between the Department of Finance and parliamentary offices, including the possibility of establishing a mandatory reporting system for serious incidents. Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins is providing advice to Foster.
In addition, Finance Minister Simon Birmingham will consult with leaders from other parties and crossbenchers on who should lead an independent review of how Parliament deals with workplace complaints, and that review’s parameters.
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has suggested former Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick or domestic violence and equality campaigner Natasha Stott Despoja head the review.
