Bail laws will be reviewed and more police will hit the streets in the Northern Territory after a Darwin bottleshop worker was fatally stabbed.
Officers were called to a BWS drive-through on Sunday night after reports a man had assaulted an employee.
Paramedics and officers arrived to find 20-year-old Declan Laverty dead with multiple stab wounds.
Keith Kerinauia, 19, was arrested and faced a Darwin court on Tuesday charged with murder, aggravated robbery and breach of bail.
He was not required to enter a plea and was remanded in custody.
Chief Minister Natasha Fyles on Wednesday unveiled a suite of measures aimed at addressing anti-social behaviour and violence.
Her government will review bail laws for offences involving a weapon, including the presumption for and against bail.
A review of penalties for carrying weapons in public will be undertaken but police powers will also be examined "to ensure they are adequate and meet community expectations".
High-visibility policing patrols will target known hotspots in Darwin and Alice Springs and capsicum spray canisters will be provided to public transport safety officers and permitted for crowd controllers and security guards.
Late-night retail outlets will be audited for safety and workers will receive new training on de-escalation tactics and responsible service of alcohol.
"The safety of our community is paramount and enough is enough. This behaviour has to stop," Ms Fyles said.
"Our government ... is fed up with acts of violence on our streets and towards our workers.
"Today's measures, along with an increase of high visibility policing, are just the beginning of multiple initiatives we are looking to implement.
"These initiatives will include measures to deter violent behaviour towards workers and the community to ensure Territorians are safe."
