    mm k well you can only put so much lipstick on the pig that is Alice Springs. The money would surely be better directed to getting a grip on the underlying issues?

    Bro, we are a capitalist society. This kind of root cause analyses and “trying to help people” isnt really the theme we’re going for here.

      To be fair, government handouts to business is not capitalism. In a truly capitalist society if the business can’t survive too bad it fails.

      A handout is a form of welfare. It’s just that the tourism industry feels that they are a more deserving recipient than others.
