Communities in central Australia could participate in a formal vote on establishing alcohol bans as federal and territory governments work to combat the Alice Springs crime crisis.
Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles suggested the Australian Electoral Commission could hold the vote on whether communities want to opt-in or out of alcohol bans.
Her comments followed a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney and community leaders to discuss ways to curb anti-social behaviour.
