A lot is being made about the nightly unrests in Alice Springs but Canberra residents say an Alice-Springs-style curfew is also required to curb anti-social behaviour in their entirely invented city, designed for public servants to bring up their children in safety and comfort, by an American architect.
“You can’t walk past a flower bed or into a Senate Committee Hearing these days without being subjected to some drunk person babbling on incoherently,” one Canberra resident said.
While the Alice Springs curfew applies to residents under the age of 18, the Canberra version would apply to those over 50. “That’s where the majority of the problem appears to be,” another resident said.
To fix the problem in Canberra, experts say there would need to be a curfew in place between 8pm and 8am, as there is in Alice Springs. And another curfew between 8am to 8pm.
