oh $25 thou... in 2008, the population of Alice Springs was around 26,000... of those 14,000 were clients of Centrelink... I don't know who this bloke thinks he is kidding... .. there would be lots of grim smiles in Alice Springs at the thought of $25,000 gathered up and handed over to Karlie.... I don't think so, peoples.
But the scenario is set whereby the police are turning their beady and often cranky eyes on drug runners, users, peripheral participants, and making life awkward on the Stuart Highway, the Sturt Highway, the Hume Freeway, the Princess Highway , the Pacific Highway and all points north , east and west of the Alice.. so someone will be highly irritated, no doubt... .. Consequences will ensue.
March 2008 there were 14 101 Centrelink and Job Network clients
in the Alice Springs and Central Australia regions (5743 Job Network and 8438 Centerlink recipients. )
