A plan to station more police officers in remote parts of the Northern Territory is a “direct threat” to the safety of Aboriginal people, Warlpiri elders have said.
Northern Territory police minister Nicole Manison on Thursday announced that spending on police and emergency services in the 2022 budget would be increased to a record $510m, including $10.1m to fund an additional 21 police officers and 30 Aboriginal liaison officers in regional and remote areas.
